GMP practices can mean the difference between a concrete business, or a business made of paper in the extraction industry. If you are not GMP compliant in your business practices, you can be sure that your lack of compliance will catch up to you and eventually spell doom for your operations. But, what about your utilities? Have you overlooked an equally important aspect of the GMP equation? GMP utilities coupled with a genuinely good GMP Process Flow is the means to success in the extraction industry. Good manufacturing practices are simply systems designed to ensure that products are created and produced with consistency according to strict quality standards. In creating extracts intended for human consumption (especially hemp based products), these standards are absolutely essential. So too are the GMP utilities you utilize.

He will break down the basic categories of utilities, the importance of Clean in Place procedures, direct, indirect and no impact to API and more. Listen and learn from this episode to set yourself up for success in GMP compliance.…
There are a number of considerations that go into building a business from the ground up while maintaining GMP compliance. In the extraction industry, choosing the right solvent, maintaining standard operating procedures and quality assurance, complying with safety and sanitary requirements are all of utmost importance, but architecture is often a lesser discussed topic in the field. However, this piece of GMP compliance is equally as critical and needs to be understood in full in order to be successful in the hemp and cannabis extraction industry. Before a business in this industry is even started, GMP architectural facility design has to be taken into serious consideration. There are a number of concerns such as cross contamination risks, environmental and sustainability factors and overall functional area evaluation. Without having a firm grasp on these topics, your business could end up dead on arrival, or worse, it could cost you thousands to address underlying issues to meet GMP requirements effectively burying you in expenses you had not calculated. The good news is that we are here to help. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and tackle the topic of GMP facility design and how it can make or break your business.

Flash chromatography is used in the hemp and cannabis industry for a number of important reasons. One of the most important reasons for a hemp extraction business to use flash chromatography is to remediate psychoactive cannabinoids like delta 9 THC to ensure that the final extract is legal and safe for human consumption. Without flash chromatography, it would be difficult to ensure a legal hemp based product that remains under 0.3% delta 9 THC as mandated under the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized hemp processing. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr, Jon and Randall Thompson follow up on flash chromatography, how it is performed and why it is so critically important to the hemp and cannabis extraction process.…
Flash chromatography is a separations technique that is incredibly useful in a swath of scientific practices. In the hemp and cannabis industry, flash chromatography is used primarily as a remediation method that removes products from an extract that cannot legally, or safely remain in the end product. Delta 9 THC, for example, is a legal issue in hemp based extracts that must be remediated to create a legal product. Because federal law requires that delta 9 THC levels do not exceed 0.3%. This makes the method of flash chromatography incredibly important to remove excess levels of delta 9 THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids from a hemp product so that it is safe and legal. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson talk about flash chromatography and how it is used in the extraction industry today.…
In the last episode of extrakTALKS, the decarboxylation process was discussed and why it is so vitally important to hemp and cannabis extraction. The entire process is essential to create products that are effectively absorbed in the human body. Apart from this, decarboxylation when performed prior to the actual extraction process increases the efficiency of extraction by increasing throughput in a reduced run time, and allowing for the best possible terpene collection in your operation. When performed properly, decarboxylation, coupled with the right equipment, can be the best time to collect those valuable terps without degrading them during extraction. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson follow up and discuss this important topic and how to utilize it to your advantage.…
Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson Discus Decarboxylation, the different methods, and benefits of retrieving terpenes directly from the biomass. Decarboxylation is not only important, it is essential in the hemp and cannabis extraction process. The decarb process is the process of introducing heat in order to convert cannabinoids like THC and CBD from their acidic forms to their neutral forms so that the human body can absorb and use them. Without this, cannabinoids would be ineffective when consumed. So, when and how should decarboxylation be performed in the extraction process? How is this done effectively? What other benefits does decarboxylation have in your operation? In this episode of extrakTALKS. Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson discuss the process of decarboxylation and the benefits it holds including more efficient extraction, high quality terpene recovery and more.…

Packing is often a little talked about, often overlooked aspect of any business operation. In the extraction industry, however, packaging is a critical aspect of the industry. There are so many rigorous specifications necessary to comply with a legal consumable CBD product it would be a shame to follow them all only to find that your packaging contains leachables that find their way into your product. Leachables are materials that can find their way into a product that would otherwise be safe for consumption and cause it to be unfit for human consumption. This is why packaging and monitoring of leachables is of vital importance in your extraction operation. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson discuss this invigorating topic including discussion on wetted materials, food contact notification specifications, safe and unsafe packaging materials and more. Randall and Dr. Jon talk about leachables within product packaging.…
It’s undeniable that CBD has exploded in popularity in recent years, but what exactly is CBD? What is CBD oil? How is it made?

Although delta 9 THC has been well known and widely used for centuries, delta 8 THC has rapidly gained popularity within just the last decade. Because it is a CBD derived cannabinoid, delta 8 THC remains inside of a legal grey area as the 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized CBD derived products for processing and sale. Because of this, CBD processors in most states can legally create a cannabinoid that is psychoactive like delta 9 THC, but is considered to be federally legal. This has opened the door for those curious about psychoactive cannabinoids that would otherwise break the law to try delta 9 THC products in states where it is not legal. Because of this, the opportunity to create delta 8 THC products from CBD has exploded and producers are all trying to find a way to profit off of its rapid growth in popularity. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Jared Lerche sit down to discuss the rise and controversy of delta 8 THC.
