Product specification

Product Introduction

Organic Hops Extract is a concentrated plant-based ingredient that comes from the female flower clusters of Humulus lupulus L. plants that were grown without using synthetic herbicides, pesticides, or GMOs.

The extract includes important bioactive compounds like lupulone and alpha-acids (humulone), as well as prenylated flavonoids like Xanthohumol and 8-Prenylnaringenin and essential oils like Myrcene and Humulene. To keep these volatile chemicals safe, supercritical CO2 extraction is used, which leaves no solvent residue and very little thermal degradation.

The finished result looks like a brown powder that can be blown around easily. It is standardised so that the levels of active markers are the same in every batch. This gets rid of the problem of variation that often comes up with raw agricultural hop materials.

Third-Party Test Report

Hongda works with authorised third-party labs like SGS and Eurofins to check each production batch on its own.

The tests follow strict guidelines for multi-residue pesticide screening using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS (USP <561>), which confirms the lack of more than 70 manufactured chemicals that are not allowed. HPLC measures the amounts of active ingredients like Alpha-acids, Beta-acids, and Xanthohumol to make sure the label claims are true.

ICP-MS is used to test for heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury according to USP <232>. Salmonella and E. coli are both checked for microbiologically. Before the hops are shipped, the Hop Storage Index (HSI) is also checked to make sure they are still fresh and have low levels of oxidation.

Organic Hops Extract Advantages

Using CO2 extraction keeps flammable essential oils safe and stops the breakdown of Xanthohumol, which is something that regular ethanol extraction can't fully do. The colour profile is cleaner, there is no grassy taste, and there is no solvent residue that can be found.

The usual specification range for flavonoids and xanthohumol is between 1% and 98%. This allows for accurate dosing in finished products, whether you need to change the bitterness level or add high-potency nutrients.

Getting organic certification under both the USDA NOP and EU Organic rules gets rid of the risk of pesticide contamination. This is a key part of meeting the rules for exporting to Europe and North America. The extract also keeps the natural "entourage effect" of small hop flavonoids that isn't found in synthetic alternatives that are made from hops alone.

Organic Hops Extract Application

Functional Beverages and Craft Brewing: Used to change the IBU (International Bitterness Units) and taste of organic beers that don't have any plant matter in them, which lowers the amount of filtration loss. Good for functional drinks that don't contain alcohol and need a hoppy flavour without fermentation.

Sleep and Stress Supplements: 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol and its contact with GABA-A receptors cause the calming effect. It is commonly found in organic sleep aids and anxiety-reducing softgels, and it is often mixed with Valerian or Lemon Balm to make them work better together.

Women's Health Supplements: Strong phytoestrogen 8-Prenylnaringenin (8-PN) extracts are used in menopause support formulas to lower the number of hot flashes that women experience. Organic purity makes sure that there are no endocrine-disrupting pesticide leftovers that could mess up the way hormones work.

Our Factory

Production Process

Raw organic hops come from farms that have been approved and are supervised by an agronomist. Before they go into the production line, materials that come in are checked for pesticide residue and moisture.

Supercritical CO2 technology is used for extraction. It works at controlled low temperatures to keep heat-sensitive compounds safe. After that, an organic-compatible carrier is used to spray-dry the extract, making a stable, free-flowing brown powder.

HPLC active assay, heavy metal screening, microbial testing, and HSI oxidation measurement are some of the last quality checks that are done. The finished goods are vacuum-sealed in clear aluminium Packaging to keep them safe from UV light and air. They are then kept in our 3,000 m² warehouse, which has controlled temperatures and humidity.

FAQ

Q1: What kind of extraction is done, and why does it matter?

A: It is done with supercritical CO2 extraction. It works at low temperatures, doesn't leave any liquid behind, and keeps volatile Xanthohumol safe. Using ethanol to extract more chlorophyll gives the plant a darker colour and a grassy taste.

Q2: Can the extract be used in drinks that are mostly water?

A: No, the native extract doesn't like fat. For clear water-soluble uses, you need a nano-encapsulated or emulsified grade, or you need to add an emulsifier when you're making the mixture to keep it from settling to the bottom.

Q3: How should I store the item so that it lasts as long as possible?

A: Keep below 5°C in clear aluminium packaging that has been vacuum-sealed. If you store it right, it will last for two to three years. When exposed to air, it oxidises into valeric acid, which gives it a bad smell.

Q4: Does this extract have phytoestrogens in it?

A: Yes. It has 8-Prenylnaringenin in it, which acts like oestrogen. This works for menopausal formulations, but people who are sensitive to hormones need to be told what it is for on the label.

Q5: How is it made sure that each batch is organic?

A: Each batch has a Transaction Certificate (TC) that connects the lot number to the organic farm that has been certified. This is not the same as the annual Organic System Plan certificate, and it makes sure that everything can be tracked.

Q6: What customisation choices are there for people who buy from businesses?

A: Hongda can meet your exact needs for Flavonoid and Xanthohumol concentrations (1% to 98%), particle size, carrier choice, and packaging format. A separate R&D team works on OEM/ODM projects.
