Abstract
Chromatographic analysis of the sugars occurring in hops showed the presence of fructose, glucose, sucrose, raffinose and possibly stachyose. Working on a larger scale, crystalline fructose, glucose, sucrose and raffinose were isolated. An unidentified sugar, possibly a trisaccharide containing fructose and glucose residues, was also obtained. Quantitative estimations of the major sugar constituents indicated little important difference from one variety of hops to another.
