CASE STUDY - FRACTIONATION OF HOPS OIL Need:  Isolation and concentration of the high value compounds from Hops Oil.  Eliminate the pesticides without aecting its avor prole. TMC Industries’ Proprietary Process: Hops oil is distilled the using a continuous-feed, Centrifugal Molecular Still (CMS) into several fractions. The CMS uses high vacuum and just the right amount of heat to applied a very thin lm of material is applied with an ultra-short residence time of < 1 second to achieve this seperation. These fractions were subsequently distilled using fractional distillation (20 theoretical plates) to isolate the high-valued compounds. Benets: – Minimal thermal degradation of the hops oil occurs while producing fractions rich in myrcene, caryophyllene and humulene usin
