• Flavor analysis: Aroma compounds in hops, fermentation by-products, sulfuric compounds, aging carbonyls by GC
• Determination of nutritional value: BIG7, vitamins
• Certificates of free sale: Analysis, microbiology, sensory evaluation and declaration check
• Analysis of sugars: Sugar range by HPLC and enzymatic tests
• Isotonic beverages by osmometry

Analytics of hops

• alfa- and beta-acids, (reduced) iso-a-acids by HPLC
• Determination of total oil content, analysis of single aroma compounds
• Polyphenols, xanthohumol
