Biorefining of Hops into Functional Materials and their Applications for the Development of Innovative Pharmaceutical Preparations (BioHops)

Project no.: PP54/202

Project description:

Currently, phytopreparations for prophylaxis and targeted treatment are very popular among healthconscious consumers, as modern analytical methods allow to determine the phytochemical composition of various plant materials, scientifically substantiate in vitro and in vivo functional properties of bioactive constituents, and to develop efficient isolation and application technologies thereof. This Project is aimed to isolate valuable biologically active materials from aroma and / or bitter-type hops (H. lupulus) applying environmentally and human-friendly biorefining technologies, to analyse their functional properties in vitro and in biological matrices, and utilise for the development and modelling of innovative and safe functional dermatological and ophthalmological phytopreparations.
