September 17, 2021Color remediation column (CRC) technology is a novel post-extraction procedure that enables producers to substantially brighten the color of extracted oils, disproving the traditional understanding that the gold hue alone assures its superiority and origin. This process helps to eliminate odors and pollutants from various extracts. To extract and filter contaminants, several producers now utilize a "color remediation column," which is a steel cylinder filled with a filtration media similar to sand. Additionally, CRC is also utilized to remove any leftover pesticides, off-flavors, or even byproducts from certain synthetic processes. However, the technology has sparked debate over whether the industry’s quality control is being compromised.
