Abstract(s)
Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are known worldwide as a raw material in beer production
due their flavor and preservative values. The beneficial properties of the plant have been mostly
associated with the female hop inflorescences (cones), which is also the part used in the brewing
industry. However, some studies indicate the presence of compounds associated with health benefits
in the vegetative parts of hops or small-caliber cones, which discarded in hop collection. Moreover,
large quantities of by-products remain in the forms of spent grains and spent hops/hot trub and are
produced by breweries raising environmental and economic sustainability concerns. This review
focuses on the phytochemicals and biological and pharmacological activities of hop and their potential
use in skin care products and also intends to explore the potential of the hop’ discarded parts and
brewery industry by-products for production in the cosmetics industry.
