Natural Hop Extract Fuels Innovation in Wellness Product Formulations

Against the backdrop of today's health-conscious consumption upgrade, an increasing number of brands are committed to developing natural, safe, and functionally supported food and health products. Consumer focus on “clean labels” and “ingredient traceability” is driving the market toward modern applications and deep development of traditional plant-based materials. Within this trend, hop extract—a highly active ingredient derived from the natural plant Humulus lupulus L.—is gaining significant industry attention.

ホップ, also known as humulus or snake flower, are a time-honored natural plant with longstanding applications across food and health sectors. Today, Green Spring Technology leverages modern extraction techniques to efficiently preserve multiple functional components—such as resins, polyphenols, and volatile oils—within hop extracts. This provides safe, stable, and potent natural raw material support for developing diverse health products, empowering brands to achieve differentiated innovation in functional foods, dietary supplements, and related fields.

1 Natural Hop Extract: Synergistic Multi-Active Components Empowering Health Product Innovation

Rich in diverse natural bioactive compounds, hop extracts represent an ideal choice for innovative health product formulations. Their core functional components primarily include the following categories:

1.1 Core Functional Resin Components

Soft resins in hop extracts constitute their primary bioactive source, with α-acids (including humulone) and β-acids (including lupulone) being particularly significant. These components exhibit outstanding antibacterial and antioxidant properties, providing a scientific foundation for natural preservation and oxidation protection. Modern extraction techniques strictly control the process to maximize the stability of these active ingredients, ensuring product efficacy.

1.2 Polyphenolic Active Compounds

Hops contain abundant polyphenolic compounds, including:

· Phenolic acids: Such as vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, etc., with antioxidant properties

· Catechins: Including catechin, epicatechin, etc., providing antioxidant support

· Proanthocyanidins: Primarily procyanidins, with catechin monomers constituting over 70%

· Flavonoids: Notably, humulone, a unique isoprenoid flavonoid specific to hops, exhibiting distinctive biological activity

These polyphenolic components collectively form the antioxidant foundation of hop extracts, making them premium raw materials for functional foods and health products.

1.3Natural Aroma Compounds

Hop essential oil contains over 200 volatile components, primarily hydrocarbons, oxygenated compounds, and sulfur-containing compounds. These natural aroma compounds not only provide pleasant fragrance but may also possess additional bioactivity, offering expanded possibilities for product development.

1.4 Polysaccharides and Other Components

Hops also contain polysaccharide compounds composed of various monosaccharides such as arabinose, galactose, and fucose. These components offer diverse options for further product development.
