1.
Development of the methodology for determination of the geographical origin of hops

We gave a lecture at the most important international conference of the brewing science, where we presented our pioneering work on the development of an analytical methodology that enables the determination of the geographical origin of hops, which is a very important piece of information for brewers.

4.
Determination of hop (Humulus Lupulus L.) authenticity and analysis of hop aroma compounds in beer

During the implementation of the project, a member of the project team was a young researcher, whose mentor was the project leader. In his work, the young researcher focused on hops as a basic brewing raw material, the processes of isomerization of alpha-acids in beer and the influence of hops on beer sensorics.

5.
Application of MS in brewing science

At the workshop of the University of Antwerp, we presented our work on the development of analytical methodologies for the identification and quantification of compounds in beer. We placed special emphasis on the use of mass spectrometry in brewing and presented the possibilities where it is indispensable, especially in the field of volatile components of aroma.
