Hoponoids are a class of natural compounds derived from hop plants, particularly known for their presence in beer. They are polyphenolic compounds that contribute to the flavor, aroma, and stability of beer, as well as offering potential health benefits due to their antioxidant properties. Research into hoponoids has suggested they may have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Their exact role and benefits are still being studied in various contexts, including dietary and medicinal applications.
