Production Monitoring

Production Monitoring

During production, tests are performed to determine the optimum time to harvest, verify that the extraction is complete, monitor compositional changes during processing, and document product potency.  Mass balance tests are performed before and after extraction to ensure no loss of material throughout the process.
