Characterization terroir effects Hops grown

项目摘要

Humulus is a small genus of flowering plants native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Hops are the female flowers (seed cones, strobiles) of the species Humulus lupulus that are used as flavouring and preservative agents in beer production. There are many hop varieties grown in North America; each variety contributes unique flavour and aroma profiles in beer, and have different advantages and disadvantages growing in local environments. These flavour and aroma compounds can also be influenced by the local environment, or terroir, of a region. As such, there is a need for hop growers to evaluate the performance of hop varieties being grown in different growing regions in British Columbia. The Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Bio-Innovation Lab will use its expertise to provide genetic and metabolomic support to Copper Dome Enterprises Ltd. (operator of Myrtle Meadows Hop Farm), in the Pemberton Valley, to assess the hop cultivars being grown in their unique growing region. The KPU Bio-Innovation Lab will use genetic tools to confirm the genotypes of the hop varieties being grown. Moreover, this project will use advanced chromatography techniques to quantify the molecules which impart specific flavour and aromas in the final hop product. The results will be an important differentiator for hops grown in the Pemberton Valley and will be used by Copper Dome, to improve their hop production practices and to increase the diversity of terrior driven flavour and aroma options for brewers.

葫芦科植物是原产于北半球温带地区的一个开花植物小属。啤酒花是啤酒花属植物的雌花(球果、球茎)，在啤酒生产中用作调味剂和防腐剂。北美种植的啤酒花品种很多，每个品种都为啤酒提供了独特的风味和香气特征，在当地环境中种植也有不同的优势和劣势。这些风味和芳香化合物也会受到当地环境或地区地形的影响。因此，啤酒花种植者有必要评估在不列颠哥伦比亚省不同种植区种植的啤酒花品种的表现。昆特伦理工大学(KPU)生物创新实验室将利用其专业知识为彭伯顿山谷的铜顶企业有限公司(桃金娘草地啤酒花农场的运营商)提供遗传和代谢支持，以评估在其独特的种植区域种植的啤酒花品种。KPU生物创新实验室将使用基因工具来确认正在种植的啤酒花品种的基因类型。此外，该项目将使用先进的层析技术来量化最终酒花产品中赋予特定味道和芳香的分子。这一结果将成为彭伯顿山谷种植的啤酒花的一个重要差异化因素，并将被铜顶公司用于改进他们的啤酒花生产实践，并为酿酒商增加可怕的风味和香气选择的多样性。
