Provided is a decarboxylating carboxylic acids of cannabinoids in hemp extract or hemp biomass in which the hemp extract or hemp biomass is heated to a temperature of 40&#xb0; C. to 100&#xb0; C. in the presence of one or more divalent or monovalent reagents.

Decarboxylation of cannabidiolic acid in hemp biomass and hemp extract

A method of using hop acids for increasing food and energy uptake from feed by livestock is described which includes delivering the hop acids for oral ingestion to the animals by mixing the acids with livestock feed. The acids are mixed with the feed in an amount to inhibit certain types of undesirable bacteria in the livestock's digestive system, thereby increasing the production of propionate and lactate and decreasing the production of methane gas.

Hop acids as a replacement for antibiotics in animal feed

The invention relates to a process for converting alpha acid and isoalpha acids to tetrahydroisoalpha acid. The process comprises isomerizing an alpha acid to produce isoalpha acid and hydrogenating the isoalpha acid in the presence of a noble metal catalyst wherein, the noble metal catalyst is added incrementally or continuously throughout the hydrogenation step. The invention also relates to tetrahydroisoalpha acids made by the above process.
