A study published recently in the peer-reviewed journal Molecules found that hemp seed hulls, an often-overlooked agricultural byproduct, may help improve the strength and biodegradability of cellulose acetate-based bioplastics. Researchers from Kaunas University of Technology examined whether chemically modified hemp seed hulls could be used as biofillers in thermoplastic biocomposites. The study focused on cellulose acetate, …

Study Finds CBD and Hemp Seed Oil Improve Jaw Function Over Time in Patients With Myofascial Pain Disorder
Jaw function improved over time in patients with myofascial pain disorder (MPD) who received either cannabidiol (CBD) or hemp seed oil, according to a new clinical trial published in Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids. The study, conducted by researchers from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medicine, used a randomized, double-blind, …
Hemp Compounds Show Promise for Managing Blood Sugar Through Gut-Based Mechanisms
Researchers from Konyang University and the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine report that several compounds derived from hemp seeds may help regulate blood sugar by targeting how glucose is processed in the gut, according to a study published in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. The study focused on three naturally occurring compounds—Cannabisin A, Cannabisin B, and Cannabisin …
Study: Hemp Seed Protein Patties Closer to Beef Than Other Plant-Based Alternatives in Nutrition, Safety and Flavor
A new study published in Food Chemistry found that patties made with hemp seed protein may come closer to beef than other plant-based alternatives when it comes to nutrition, safety and flavor. Researchers from Guangdong Medical University and Changchun University of Chinese Medicine compared hemp seed protein meat patties to other plant-based protein patties as …
Study: Hemp Seed Compounds Show Potential for Treating Diabetes and Obesity
Two naturally occurring compounds derived from hemp seed hulls can help improve blood sugar control and restore key metabolic functions tied to diabetes and obesity, according to a new study published in Phytomedicine.
Study: Hemp Protein Cuts Cholesterol by Nearly 40% in Lab Tests
A new study published in Food Research International suggests that a modified form of hemp protein may help reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels by targeting key enzymes and metabolic pathways involved in fat storage.
Study: Hempseed Meal Boosts Egg Production and Omega Fatty Acids in Laying Hens
A study published today by the journal Poultry Science finds that adding hempseed meal to the diets of laying hens can improve egg production, feed efficiency and yolk fatty acid content without harming the birds’ health.
Edible Hemp Film Helped Keep Freeze-Dried Berries Fresher in Storage, Study Finds
A study published in Molecules examined whether adding cannabis extract to polysaccharide-based films could better protect freeze-dried raspberries and blueberries during storage. The team produced several versions of the film with different extract levels, then evaluated how the extract changed the film’s physical performance and how well it preserved the fruit over time.
Study: Hemp Seed Extracts May Enhance Effectiveness of Antibiotics and Antifungal Medications
A study published by the journal Plants reports that extracts derived from hemp seeds may enhance the effectiveness of certain antibiotics and antifungal medications, with results varying significantly depending on both the hemp cultivar and the extraction method used. The research was conducted by scientists from Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy and focused on …
Bacteria From Hemp Seed Oil Shown to Combat Botrytis, Offering a New Biocontrol Tool for Cannabis Growers
According to a study published today by the Canadian Journal of Microbiology, naturally occurring bacteria found in hemp seed oil may offer an effective alternative to chemical fungicides for protecting cannabis plants from Botrytis cinerea. Researchers at McGill University examined seven bacterial strains isolated from hemp seed oil to determine whether they could suppress the …
