Air Products, UVA studying cryogenic freezing

摘要

Air Products is collaborating with a professor at the University of Virginia(UVA) on research studying the benefits of cryogenic freezing on cannabinoids found in industrial hemp from the time of harvest through extraction and final processing. As part of the research, Dr. Bryan Berger, an associate professor of chemical and biomedical engineering at UVA, will work closely with the cryogenic freezing technology lab at Air Products' headquarters in Pennsylvania to study the effects of using liquid cryogens such as liquid nitrogen on the quantification, chemical composition and profiles of cannabinoids found in hemp used in industrial and medical applications.
