Processing of Hops

Supercritical CO₂ Extraction for Hop Processing

Supercritical CO₂ extraction is a precise, clean, and solvent-free method for processing hops to produce high-quality hop extracts. This advanced technology enables selective extraction of alpha acids, beta acids, and aromatic compounds while preserving the natural characteristics of hops.

Precise CO₂ extraction produces high-quality hop extracts with consistent bitterness, aroma, and flavor profiles, making it ideal for brewing, beverage formulation, and flavor applications.

Key Advantages

  • Solvent-free and non-toxic extraction process
  • Consistent bitterness and aroma profiles
  • High purity hop extracts with minimal impurities
  • Selective extraction of alpha and beta acids
  • Preserves delicate hop aromas and flavors
  • Environmentally friendly process with reusable CO₂
