Hemp Processing-Pros and Cons of How Oil is Extracted from Hemp

Hemp oil is all the rage these days with so many utilizing the substance as a medicinal tool. With such a surge in demand for the oil in recent years, manufacturers have turned to multiple processing methods to meet with demand. All standard hemp processing methods come with pros and cons. When purchasing such an important product as hemp oil, it is best to know the good and the possible bad of how your specific product is processed.

Ethanol or Olive Oil Extraction

One of the more popular methods for extracting hemp oil is with the use of ethanol or olive oil. Both substances are safe for human consumption but as a side effect from the extraction process, the final result maintains an unappealing taste along with an off-putting green hue. It is the chlorophyll that is removed along with the hemp oil that produces the taste and appearance. Although the chlorophyll is able to be removed, it takes with it much of the valuable properties of hemp oil.

Cold Press

For centuries, cold pressed olive oil has been among the best method for getting the most out of the olives. Therefore, it is easy to see how this method has been adapted to the hemp processing industry. The negative in this method is due to the sticky consistency of the process. Much of the oil can be lost due to this factor.

Super Critical CO2 Extraction

Hemp processing can be a relatively inexpensive process, but if you have the funds to purchase the expensive equipment, super critical CO2 extraction is a viable option. The resulting oil is rich in nutrients and produces an amber color.
