Lāʻau Lapaʻāu | Characterization of Bioactive Constituents in Hops Cones and Pellets

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Hops (Humulus lupulus, Cannabaceae) cones not only give beer flavor and bitterness, but they also have sedative, antibacterial, and phytoestrogenic properties. They may also prevent cell proliferation, which could have applications in cancer treatment. However, the many bioactive compounds of hops are difficult to characterize. The purpose of this study was to maximize characterization by using two complementary techniques. The authors used “online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography [(2D LC)] with tandem mass spectrometry and direct infusion Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry [(FT-ICR-MS)],” as well as “a reversed phase x reversed phase approach with a shifted gradient in the second dimension.” Together, these methods could be used to discover and identify hops compounds, distinguish cultivars, and monitor storage and processing.

The different constituents of hops exhibit a diverse array of properties depending on the variety, harvest time, and storage of the herb. Previous methods have been unable to…

Endangered Species | The Tragic Tale of a Pangolin, the World’s Most Trafficked Animal

Pangolins are considered the most illegally trafficked mammal in the world—scaly, cat-size, nocturnal anteaters found in Africa and Asia. It’s estimated that in the last 10 years, a million pangolins have been trafficked. Pangolins are now one of the most valuable animals to need protection. This short film produced by Coral and Oak Studios follows the regrettable voyage a pangolin takes from the moment it is caught to the moment it is consumed. The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of National Geographic Partners.

Pangolins are native to Southeast Asia and Africa.  This film tracks the poaching of Pangolins in the Philippines as food for sale in China.  Click on the link to view this short National Geographic film.

McDonald’s French Fries Found to Contain Silly Putty Ingredient and Petroleum Chemical

Grant Imahara, host of the eye-opening show Mythbusters, was at it again. This time, he didn’t set out to get involved with crash test dummies or explosives. Instead, he recently focused on a specific food — which it can hardly be called — at McDonald’s: french fries.

Imahara went directly to the fast food chain’s processing plant in the potato-loving state, where he thankfully learned that the fries’ first ingredient are indeed spuds. However, the ingredients that followed are disturbing to say the least. Included on the list of 19 items are dimethylpolysiloxane, a form of silicone found in Silly Putty, tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a petrol-based chemical, and hydrogenated soybean oil, which is a manufactured form of trans fat.(1)  […]
