Abstract

Preserve Botanica is conducting research on upcycling hops waste, funded by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV. CEO Wanda du Plessis explores the various applications of hops beyond brewing, such as medicinal herbs, skincare products, and insect repellents. The research aims to reduce waste in the brewing process and unlock opportunities for the industry. Du Plessis also investigates the antimicrobial and medicinal properties of hops essential oils, with potential applications in gut health and appetite suppression. [Extracted from the article]
