Abstract
The medicinal properties of hop (Humulus lupulus L.) have been known for a very long time. However, this plant, which is extensively used in brewery, have recently gained a lot of attention, because hops contain compounds which have antibacterial, antioxidant and even anticancer properties [1]. Usually methanol is the most frequently used solvent for the extraction of biologically active compounds of hops [2]. However, other solvents are sometimes used [3]. The studies of biologically active compounds of hops would probably allow to discover new applications of hop harvest while the use of most effective solvent would allow to exploit the harvest in the most efficient way. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of various organic solvents and their concentration for extraction efficiency of biologically active compounds from hops. To our knowledge it is the first study about the influence of different solvents for the extraction efficiency of phenolic compounds from Lithuanian hops. The concentration of phenolic compounds and flavonoids was analyzed using spectrophotometric methods [4]. The results were expressed as rutin equivalents mg/g of plant (mg RE/g). The analysis has shown that the highest concentration of phenolic compounds from leaves of hops was extracted using 25 % acetone solution as a solvent (92.55 mg RE/g) whereas the lowest extraction efficiency was achieved using pure acetonitrile (1.84 mg RE/g). In contrast, the highest extraction efficiency of flavonoids was achieved using 25 % N,N-dimethylformamide solution in water (25.75 mg RE/g) however the lowest amount of flavonoids was extracted using pure acetonitrile (2.03 mg RE/g). The highest amount of phenolic compounds from cones of hops was extracted using 75 % N,N-dimethylformamide solution in water (118.09 mg RE/g) while the lowest extraction efficiency was achieved using pure acetonitrile (13.45 mg RE/g).
