“…Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antilipoperoxidative activities as well as antiangiogenic, antiproliferative and apoptotic effects, mainly assessed in vitro studies, reasonably suggest a potential chemopreventive activity (Gerhauser et al, 2002;Magalhães, Carvalho, et al, 2009). In addition, XN displays broadspectrum anti-infective activity against several micro-organisms (Magalhães, Carvalho, et al, 2009;Nowakowska, 2007). The reported beneficial health effects of XN have attracted attention in the brewing community concerning the production of XN enriched hop extracts and beers (Biendl, Methner, Stettner, & Walker, 2004;Magalhães, Dostalek, Cruz, Guido, & Barros, 2008;Wunderlich, Zürcher, & Back, 2005).…”
