TECHNOLOGICAL SCHEME OF MULTI-PURPOSE PROCESSING OF INDUSTRIAL HEMP SEEDS

Abstract

Industrial hemp is a socially safe agricultural plant, all parts of which are used in many industries. Hemp seeds and products based on it are of value to the human body. After all, industrial hemp seeds are a full-fledged source of plant proteins, dietary fiber, and the complex of essential fatty acids, a number of vitamins, minerals. World practice shows that the use of hemp seeds is becoming a priority. Manufacturers are constantly innovating and introducing new products to the market. The Ukrainian market for industrial hemp seed products is under development. This leads to the search for new non-traditional uses of both seeds and related products of its processing. The article describes the value of industrial hemp seeds and presents its chemical composition. The characteristics and chemical composition of related products of seed processing, such as chaff, shell, husk, filtersediment, presscake are presented. Based on this, a comprehensive technical and technological scheme of multi-purpose processing of industrial hemp seeds is proposed. The scheme includes a sequence of actions and operations that minimizes production waste and increases the efficiency of seed processing through the use of all products. The scheme provides for the production of hemp kernel and cold-pressed oil with the subsequent use of by-products of processing as raw materials to obtain products for various purposes: technical oil, bulk hemp products, compound feed, feed additives, solid biofuelsetc. The implementation of the developed scheme allows to expand the range of products from industrial hemp seeds and will promote multi-vector development of both agricultural and processing enterprises.
