This study examined the aromatic profiles of five hop varieties grown Brazil versus their countries origin. Fifty grams pelletized hops from each strain were collected analyzed using HS-SPME/GC-MS to identify volatile compounds, followed by statistical analysis PLS-DA ANOVA. identified 330 found significant differences among different regions. For instance, H. Mittelfrüher has fruity herbaceous profile, while German-grown variety more herbal spicy. Similar variations noted Magnum, Nugget, Saaz, Sorachi Ace varieties. findings underscore impact terroir on profiles, Brazilian-grown displaying distinct compared counterparts origin, including notes α-acid content.
