Storage & Handling SOP for Bulk Hemp Ingredients (Distillates & Isolates)

Storage & Handling SOP for Bulk Hemp Ingredients (Distillates & Isolates)

Storage targets

  • Temp: 60–70°F; avoid heat spikes.
  • Light: UV-resistant, opaque or amber containers.
  • Oxygen/Moisture: Airtight seals; consider nitrogen headspace.
  • Rotation: FIFO with date/lot logging.

Receiving & production

  • Inspect seals & labels; quarantine until QC verifies COA.
  • Record gross/net weights, condition, and storage location.
  • For viscous distillate, warm gently (<120°F water bath) before metering.

Documentation

  • Maintain lot genealogy from intake → WIP → finished goods.
  • Save COAs and in-house test results for each batch.

Next step

→ Order lab-verified ingredients shipped in stable, sealed containers:

Introduction Even the highest-quality hemp extract can lose potency if exposed to heat, light, or oxygen. Understanding shelf-life stability is critical to maintaining cannabinoid integrity and product performance over time. 🔬 What Causes Degradation? UV Light: Breaks down cannabinoids into inactive compounds. Oxygen: Oxidizes oils, reducing potency. Heat: Accelerates molecular...

Introduction Cannabinoids are naturally oil-based molecules, which means they don’t dissolve in water — a challenge for beverage and cosmetic formulators. To create stable, clear, and bioavailable products, manufacturers rely on emulsification science to make cannabinoids compatible with aqueous systems. 🧪 What Is an Emulsion? An emulsion is a mixture...

Must-check panels Potency (CBD, minors, total Δ9-THC) — confirm spec and legal threshold. Residual solvents — “ND” or below action limits. Heavy metals & pesticides — under limits, ISO-lab tested. Microbial — pass for relevant product type. Traceability Batch/lot IDs on COA must match your label and invoice. Keep digital...
