The customer challenge
In the hemp plant the cannabinoids are predominantly present as so-called carboxylic acids, however, the active ingredient has its full therapeutic effect only after being heated. Temperature is a critical process condition both during storage of the crude oil as well as in the extraction. Too high or too low temperatures could lead to longer process times or even worse, to the formation of undesirable byproducts whose removal requires an important additional effort.
