Tehnologija proizvodnje djevičanskog konopljinog ulja

Konoplja (Cannabis sativa L.) je jednogodišnja zeljasta biljka koja potječe iz Azije, a smatra se da se u Europi proizvodi od 15. stoljeća. Nakon otkrića Amerike širila se i duž tog kontinenta. Konoplja je dvodomna biljka što znači da ženske i muške reproduktivne organe ima na odvojenim biljkama. Mnogo korisnih proizvoda dobiva se od konoplje. Upotrebljava se u proizvodnji materijala, koristi se i za izradu goriva koji se prije koristio za lampe, dok danas ima širu primjenu kao gorivo pod nazivom biodizel. Za razliku od hladno prešanih, djevičanska ulja su proizvodi dobiveni iz odgovarajućih sirovina prešanjem na temperaturi većoj od 50 ˚(60 - 80 ˚C, 30 minuta) što tehnološki predstavlja fazu kondicioniranja sirovine prije prešanja. Proizvedeno djevičansko ulje podvrgava se mehaničkim postupcima čišćenja (taloženje, filtriranje) kako bi se uklonile nečistoće i onda se puni u odgovarajuću ambalažu. Hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual herbaceous plant native to Asia and believed to have been produced in Europe since the 15th century. After the discovery of America, it also spread along that continent. Hemp is a dioecious plant which means that the female and male reproductive organs are on separate plants. Many useful products are obtained from hemp. It is used in the production of all kinds of materials, it is also used to make fuel that was previously used for lamps, while today it has a wider application as a biodiesel fuel. Unlike cold-pressed, unrefined oils are products obtained from suitable raw materials by pressing at a temperature higher than 50 degrees (60-80 degrees, 30 minutes), which technologically represents the phase of conditioning the raw material before pressing. The produced virgin oil is subjected to mechanical procedures (precipitation, filtration) to remove impurities and then filled into appropriate packaging.
