The plant, imported almost entirely from Germany or the USA, gives the drink its bitterness and other characteristic aromas and flavors. Farmers from the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Sul, Paran\u00e1, Santa Catarina, S\u00e3o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Mato Grosso, and Bahia have spent years trying to adapt this climbing plant that is only native to regions with a temperate climate (<em>see<\/em> Pesquisa FAPESP <em>issue no 251<\/em>). In 2019, pharmacist Fernando Batista da Costa of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo in Ribeir\u00e3o Preto (USP-RP), started an experimental plantation of four hop varieties\u2014three North American (Cascade, Chinook, and Triple Pearl) and one European one (Saaz)\u2014in Ribeir\u00e3o, a city known for its hot climate. Two of them, Cascade and Chinook, developed satisfactorily (<em>European Journal of Agronomy<\/em>, November 2023). \u201cWe concluded that it is viable to grow hops in the tropical climate conditions of S\u00e3o Paulo,\u201d Costa told <em>Ag\u00eancia FAPESP<\/em>. An analysis of the chemical compounds found in the two varieties of hops identified 55 volatile oils, associated with aroma, flavor, and alpha and beta-acids, responsible for the bitterness (<em>Qu\u00edmica Nova<\/em>, October 10, 2023). The researchers produced craft beers with the two hop varieties from Ribeir\u00e3o Preto and the USA and gave them to 100 people for a taste test. The beers made with locally grown hops received higher scores than the others (<em>International Journal of Wine Business Research<\/em>, June 2023).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Experimental hop cultivation in Ribeir\u00e3o Preto proves successful","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[153,243,251],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-515024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes","tag-agronomy","tag-innovation","tag-nutrition"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515024"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515024\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":515034,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515024\/revisions\/515034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515024"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=515024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
