Speaking at Expo West, Kyle Einhorn, vice president of sales for HempRise, said the nanoemulsion is changing the way people see CBD incorporated into beverages.
“Obviously getting CBD and oil in an emulsion is really critical. HempRise has really used its technology internally to develop a nanoemulsion. It’s 5% active, goes into solution and stays in solution and doesn’t foam. These are really some Real critical elements that most people find most difficult when adding CBD to a beverage, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic.We are seeing great growth in the sparkling water industry and HempNANO has really been an opportunity for people enter the market, where they would not have been able to do it before, because making an emulsion is a difficult situation, especially when I’m looking for a challenging product like CBD. “
The company said the key to a homogeneous CBD drink is through nanoemulsion or encapsulation, which breaks CBD oil into small drops and keeps them suspended evenly throughout the drink. With this nanoemulsion process, CBD is mechanically broken by a large shear force, then stabilized with emulsifiers, resulting in consistency, stability, and longer product life.
HempRise has one of the largest hemp processing facilities in the U.S., with a new 100,000-square-foot facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Once the $ 80 million investment is at full capacity, Einown said it will process between 8 and 10 million pounds of biomass per year, with the potential to scale up to 15 million pounds.
