NCM Biotechnology chooses Greenbelt Resources bioethanol to test for CBD extraction process

In California, Greenbelt Resources Corporation announced that its bioethanol will be tested for potential use by Natures Comfort Meds Biotechnology during its patented CBD extraction process. The bioethanol being used is produced from local brewery waste, and NCM Biotechnology selected Greenbelt for testing because its bioethanol is a greener, cleaner and more sustainable bioproduct, according to their press release.

NCM Biotechnology’s CBD extraction process uses ethanol to convert the cannabinoids into liquid form, or oil. A recent study has shown that using ethanol as a solvent during the CBD extraction process increases the cannabinoid levels and therapeutic attributes. NCM’s cannabinoid-based product is currently being tested in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma.

Puration Inc. also selected Greenbelt’s bioethanol for testing in its patented CBD extraction process for potential use.
