Humulus lupulus, commonly known as the hop plant or hops, is a climbing herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Cannabaceae family. It is primarily cultivated for its cone-like flowers that are used as an essential ingredient in beer production due to their bitter and aromatic properties, creating a unique flavor and aroma profile for different beer styles. Apart from its significance in brewing, hops contain various beneficial compounds such as flavonoids, terpenes, and xanthohumol, which have shown potential health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Additionally, hops also possess sedative properties used traditionally for treating insomnia and anxiety. With increasing demand for craft beer industries globally, Humulus lupulus’s cultivation has become crucial economically and culturally in many regions worldwide.
