Overview
LLZ™ is a hop-derived aroma product made from hop oil. LLZ™ imparts a bright, crisp, citrusy flavor to both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It can be added at various points in the brewing process, but typically on the cold side of production. This results in a more intense aroma compared to traditional hop oils, with a clean finish from the palate.

is a slightly hazy, semi-transparent solution.
• Utilization

differences in equipment, process conditions
and the beverage being produced.

distinct citrus, lemon-lime aroma to
beverages. The aroma intensity varies with
the quantity added.

Product Use
• Dosage
The required quantity of LLZTM depends on the
beverage type and point of the addition. For
example, 10 ppm LLZTM active in seltzer water
is sufficient to give an immediately recognizable
flavor. Actual additions will depend on the
intensity of aroma desired.
• Application
LLZTM can be added at different stages of
beer/beverage production. Dosing equipment
which pumps the product into the beer stream
is preferred for the addition of LLZTM but not
required due to the product’s water solubility.
Shake bottle well before use.
