R-321.00.001 [2016-03] Sample Collection for Isomerized Hop Extract

Application/Purpose

As a rule, isomerized hop extracts are homogenous due to their method of production. However, due to longer storage periods or incorrect handling during storage, precipitation may occur. For this reason, the original package should be submitted for analysis. One to three samples are to be randomly collected from a package, depending on the size of the lot.

Scope of Application

Isomerized hop extract intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry

Principle

A representative sample of the hop extract is necessary for the analysis, i.e., the sample should be taken from a completely homogenized container.
