Example 7

Freshly harvested industrial hemp plant, including stalks and leaves were fed into a commercial juicer equipped with masticating blade and Archimedes screw feed to separate the fibrous pulp from the sap. The resulting hemp sap was filtered to further remove fibrous solids and thereafter collected as nutritional sap stock. Samples of the hemp sap were sent to a laboratory for elemental analysis. The results of the analysis are reported in Table 2.
