Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a process for providing hemp extracts in a vegetable gelatin, HPMC, or any other cellulose derivative capsule. The process includes extracting a hemp plant material with an aqueous alcohol mixture to provide an aqueous alcoholic hemp extract. The aqueous alcoholic hemp extract is concentrated with an emulsifier (e.g., lecithin) and diluted with a glycerol (e.g., glycerin) while maintaining a carboxylation:decarboxylation ratio equal to or greater than about 2:1 for the plurality of cannabinoids present within the hemp extract. Alcohol and water is removed from the mixture to provide a semi-soft form hemp extract. The herb extract is then encapsulated in a vegetable gelatin, HPMC, or any other cellulose derivative capsule.
