This dissertation describes the identification of key bitter compounds in the hard resin of hops by the use of instrumental-analytic technics. Besides the influence of the hop variety, the oxygen independent storage, the storage under forced conditions as well as the influence of the beer style and the beer storage on the concentration of these bitter compounds were examined. Last but not least, in vitro studies using cell-based systems examined the cytotoxicity, the resorption and the metabolism of selected compounds.
