Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Justification for type of information:
α-Bitter acid, hop, hydrogenated, isomerized is a multi-component UVCB. The main components tetrahydroiso-alpha-acids are used in the food industry as an ingredient in beer (approved food additives for beer in the USA, under 21 CFR § 172.560). Since it is a UVCB, the precise composition can vary, but detailed compositional information is given in the boundary composition. Briefly, the major components are the tetrahydroiso-alpha acids, viz. tetrahydroisohumulone, tetrahydroisocohumulone and tetrahydroisoadhumulone, all present as the potassium salt. In addition there are hop polyphenols, waxes and resins, and entrained water. There is no volatile hop essential oil - this is removed in the manufacturing process. The hop essential oil is the only component of the starting material "hop extract" for which there is a predicted significant vapour pressure. Therefore, α-Bitter acid, hop, hydrogenated, isomerized will not contain volatile components, and the vapour pressure will be negligible. The vapour pressures of tetrahydroisohumulone has been estimated using EPISuite, and is used to provide a vapour pressure estimate for this substance.
