Abstract
Cohumulone occurs in considerable quantity in some hop varieties. The information at present available concerning this substance is reviewed and it is shown that it is a lower homologue of humulone having the formula C20HO5, having an isobutyryl side-chain in place of the isovaleryl side-chain of humulone. The contribution of cohumulone to the bittering of beer is discussed.
