Chromatography is sometimes used as an alternative to distillation in the post extraction processing of hemp. The primary advantage of chromatography over distillation is that it does not use heat for separation of the various products in the hemp extract (hemp oil obtained after supercritical fluid extraction). Distillation separates the various products by boiling theContinue reading “Chromatography techniques used for post extraction processing of hemp”

Why Post Processing of Hemp Oil is Legally Important?
Post processing is an inseparable part of hemp extraction for more reasons than one. These procedures are geared towards the following objectives: Maximizing the cannabidiol (CBD) content; Retaining terpenes and flavonoids; Minimizing or even eliminating tetrahydrocannabinol (THC); and Removing unwanted elements such as waxes, fats, lipids, and dirt from the extract. Although the supercritical fluidContinue reading “Why Post Processing of Hemp Oil is Legally Important?”
Importance of scalability in SCFE equipment for cannabis extraction
