HOPS
Transcript: Bract Long before our notions of hops were exclusive to beer making, hops was recognized for its medicinal applications in nutraceuticals and dietary supplements *note that hops plants are dioecious, meaning that the male and female reproductive organs exist in separate plants The three largest regions of hop production occurs in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In addition to their structural similarities they are similar in that both contain terpenes and other phytonutrients found specifically in their female plants. As hops has its rich history in the medicinal realms so is cannabis specifically in treating restlessness and recognized for their calming and sleep inducing elements. In addition to this both herbs are said to have anti-cancer properties Eaten and enjoyed by ancient romans & were used to treat a variety of ailments such as anxiety, restlessness and a multitude of other health disparities that will be discussed more in depth below Also known for its anti-bacterial properties as well as an antispasmodic agents, which has been known to settle upset stomachs and treat menstrual symptoms. In regards to its anti-bacterial properties, hops has a long history of sterilizing beer especially since for centuries beer was produced using run-off water supplies. With this being said beer was often safer then drinking water alone, even children would drink beer Mission Humulus Lupulus Todays Plant Therapy (Phytotherapy) Flavonols and Resveratrol Strig Wild hops often grows between shrubs at the edge of forests, with sufficient access to water these plants can grow as tall as 26 feet Hops Breeding and Varities Questions? Polyphenols effects on cell cycle and apoptosis “Polyphenolic compounds are able to induce cell-cycle arrest and to stop mitosis. It was demonstrated that quercetin was able to arrest the cell cycle at G1/S or G2/M Humulus Lupulus Seed & Pollen Overall, the HAAS Hops Company consists of 26 employees but has several partnerships with other major and smaller organizations such as Hop Breeding Company, LNF Latino Americana (aid in technical and commercial cooperation in Brazilian markets),Willamette Valley Hops and GECORP Brewing Solutions (aids in hop attainment from Chile, Peru and Argentina) as well as JOH. Barth & Sohn which operates in Germany. Further History of Hops In the Medicinal Realm Worldwide these offices function by providing the services below; • Hop production and breeding • Hop processing • Hop production marketing • Hop storage and logistics services • Research and development for all areas of application involving hops Hop Anatomy The Barth-HAAS Group How Polyphenols Do the Job Anti-inflammatory activity Anti-proliferative activity 1. Research heightened in regards to phytophenols as well as essential oils and resins because of their ability to stop or reverse tumor formation. Number of Scientific Articles Published on Hops and Health from 1997 through 2008 Though hops is widely recognized as a key ingredient in the process of making beer, history shows that beer was made without hops for about 8,000 years. In this time before the use of hops its attributions to the beer making process were accomplished by spices and fruits that would create “gruit”-based recipes. Primary gruit based herbs include yarrow, sweet gale and marsh rosemary, though other flavorings exist as well, including cinnamon, nutmeg and caraway seed. Other Uses Prior to Applications in Beer Making Cannabis Seed and Pollen Mo What the problem? The activation of possibly harmful substances into carcinogens in the body is conducted by “enzymatic conversion using endogenous oxidase systems (enzymes that catalyze a reaction), primarily via the cytochrome P450 family (CYP).” 8-Prenylnargenin (8PN) Company Information Broadly, there are several phytophenols (compounds containing more than one phenolic hydroxyl group) or phytoconstituents that are common to most hops HOPS In recent years ... Unique from the rest, THC is what is widely known for it’s psychoactive effects that are often, but not always, associated with euphoric responses. What some of us may not know is that some 27 million years ago these two divergent botanical species were from the same plant. Coming from the same family, Cannabaceae, these two species share similar structure in pollen and seed structure. Overview of Use Do not isomerize when boiled and instead oxidize, which attributes to the increased shelf life and allows for a longer aging process Commercialization of New Hops Varieties Estrogenic and Osteoporosis-prevention Related Activities Obesity and Diabetes prevention-Related Activities Cardiovascular-Related Activities Sedative effects Polyphenols in the Inhibition of angiogenesis (development of new blood vessels ex. diabetic retinopathy, chronic inflammation, and cancer-in detail) The Importance of Variety in Chemical Composition Native to the northern hemisphere the multi-functional uses of hops comes from the lupulin glands that
