“…Hemp is the common name of Cannabis sativa (Linnaeus, 1753), an annual and principally dioecious tall weed based on the C3 photosynthetic cycle [1], belonging to the family Cannabaceae [2]. It has a large number of traditional and innovative applications in different sectors, encompassing, among others, fuel, textiles, green building, and foodstuff, resulting in its global distribution as an emerging high-value specialty crop [3,4].…”

Isotopic Characterization of Italian Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Intended for Food Use: A First Exploratory Study

In this study, Italian industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) intended for food use was isotopically characterized for the first time. The stable isotope ratios of five bioelements were analyzed in different parts of the plant (i.e., roots, stems, inflorescences, and seeds) sampled in eight different regions of Italy, and in five hemp seed oils. The values of δ2H, δ13C, δ18O, and δ34S differed according to the latitude and, therefore, to the geographical origin of the samples and the climate conditions of plant growth, while the δ15N values allowed us to distinguish between crops grown under conventional and organic fertilization. The findings from this preliminary study corroborate the reliability of using light stable isotope ratios to characterize hemp and its derived food products and contribute to the creation of a first isotopic database for this plant, paving the way for future studies on authentication, traceability, and verification of organic labeling.

Assessment of Plant Origin By-Products as Lightweight Aggregates for Bio-Composite Bounded by Starch Binder

et al. 2022

Thermal insulation bio-composites made of plant origin by-products as bio-aggregates are one of the ways to decrease the impact of the building and construction sector on CO2 emissions. In this study, three bio-aggregates were analysed for their potential use in the production of bio-composites with potato starch binder. Technologically important properties, such as particle size, shape and compacted bulk density, as well as properties of the resulting bio-composites were identified. The main characteristics of the aggregates are relatively similar: density of 80–100 kg/m3, thermal conductivity of 0.042–0.045 W/m∙K, specific heat capacity of 1240–1330 J/g∙K, kinetic water absorption from 456–584%. This leads to similar basic properties of the produced bio-composites: density around 200 kg/m3, thermal conductivity 0.053–0.062 W/m∙K, specific heat capacity 1250–1450 J/kg∙K, with a difference in compressive strength ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 MPa. Created starch binder and agricultural by-product filler materials could be used in the production of boards where strength is required, for example, envelope and wind barrier boards, and thermal insulation boards under floors.
