Abstract
The present paper makes a review of the current industrial hemp uses, given the biological, ecological, technological, sociological and economic properties of its cultivation and capitalisation. The whole plant can be processed with zero waste. The oils from the organic hemp plant, with a complex composition, being non-toxic and processed by modern technologies, can be used as raw materials for the manufacture of phyto-medicines and food supplements or for cosmetics products, according to the bio-circular economy principles. In our case study, such oils produced in an organic processing facility are analysed. The chromatographic analysis showed a balanced ratio of unsaturated fatty acids (omega6 / omega3). After processing the aerial part of the hemp plant (herba) to obtain CBD (cannabinoid) oil, the remains are used as the plant base for the production of bio-compost, and after the cold pressing of seeds, the resulting parts are dried and ground. The resulting powder, which represents a rich source of quality, easily digestible proteins, can be used in the bio-economic circuit for obtaining premixes (for human and veterinary use), bakery products, protein bars and various functional foods.
