Despite its use in our diet for hundreds of years, hempseed has surprisingly little research published on its physiological effects. This may have been in the past because the psychotropic properties wrongly attributed to hemp would complicate any conclusions obtained through its study. Hemp has a botanical relationship to drug/medicinal varieties of Cannabis. However, hempseed no longer contai...

This work presents an improved single fiber pull-out test for fiber/matrix interface characterization. This test has been used to study the Inter-Facial Shear Strength ‘IFSS’ of hemp fibers reinforced polypropylene (PP). For this aim, the fiber diameter has been carefully measured using a tomography inspired method. The fiber section contour can then be approximated by a circle or a polygon. Th...

Hemp protein hydrolysates with various yields of trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptides (Ysp) and surface hydrophobicity (Ho) were obtained by Neutrase ® hydrolysis from hemp protein isolate (HPI). The peptide profiles, amino acid composition and antioxidant activities (DPPH radical scavenging ability, reducing power and Fe chelating ability) of the hydrolysates, obtained at 60–240 min, we...

Fabrication of sustainable products are significance from many aspects recently. Industrial hemp as one the most sustainable, environment friendly plant can be used for applications. In this study, various hemp-derived, binder free, flexible anode materials were prepared by two-step carbonization method. Plain woven fabric was a starting material. hemp-derived carried out in two steps known sta...

Bio-based products are paving a promising path towards greener future and helping win the fight against climate change global warming mainly caused by fossil fuel consumption. This paper aims at highlighting acoustic, thermal, mechanical properties of hemp-based biocomposite materials. Change in sound absorption as result hemp fibers particle reinforcement discussed this paper. The thermal char...

Arab scientists were several centuries ahead of our current knowledge of the curative power of hemp (Cannabis sativa L., Cannabaceae). Modern Western scientific literature ignores their contribution on the subject. We review in this paper the therapeutic uses of the plant in Arabic medicine from the 8th to the 18th century. Arab physicians knew and used its diuretic, anti-emetic, anti-epileptic...

Hemp is a broad term used to describe the many varieties of Cannabis sativa L. that produce less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The crop globally significant and has recently been approved in United States. There are uses for industrial hemp, market hemp rapidly growing as more states legalizing its production. Industrial marketed oil, grain, fiber. Varieties have selected improved fiber...
