Winterizing & Polishing of BHO Extracts Butane, a popular solvent used in cannabis extraction, makes beautiful concentrates called Butane Honey Oil (BHO).  A “winterization” process with food grade ethanol (95% or higher) can be used to clean and polish your BNO concentrate.  Winterizing will eliminate most of the remaining butane and remove undesirables like fats, lipids and waxes. Step 1: Ethanol Bath Mixing a butane extract with >95% ethanol is a very efficient way to purge excess butane and remove undesirables from the extract. The BHO extract can be mixed with 10-20 ..read more

CBD Bioavailability   What is Bioavailability? The term “bioavailability” refers to the quantity of a compound (including medicines or substances found in food) that enters the bloodstream when it is introduced into the body. When you use any product, it must first be transferred from the administration site into the bloodstream. The way you consume a product can affect how much of it becomes active in the body and how long the effects will last. This bioavailability describes the rate and total amount of a product that has an active effect once consumed or applied, and is measured as a p ..read more

Terpenes in Cannabis

An overview of the terpenes in cannabis. Introduction. Cannabis has been used for millennia as a medicine and recreational intoxicant. While medicinal cannabis is best known for its pharmacologically active cannabinoids, cannabis resin also contains a variety of terpenes, which are responsible for the scent of cannabis flowers and the flavour qualities of cannabis products. Cannabis plants produce and accumulate a terpene-rich resin in glandular trichomes on the surface of the female inflorescence. The different monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes of cannabis resin define some of the unique organo ..read more

Cannabis Extraction Processes Traditional botanical extractions aim to provide the extracts in a readily usable form. Various methods have been used to create cannabis concentrates. It is important to understand the desired results and the reasons for using the extracts (e.g. medical, therapeutic or recreational). Within a cannabis processing plant, the extraction process (e.g. light hydrocarbon, ethanol, supercritical fluid or solvent-less) needs to be chosen. Regardless of whether the end product is a crude extract, a high-end consumable, or a pharmaceutical-grade formulation, an understandi ..read more

The decarboxylation of cannabinoids.   While the legal status of cannabis can vary significantly, extracts of the Cannabis plant (in the form of crude drugs, marijuana, hashish or hash oil) are the most widely consumed and popular recreational/medicinal botanical drug product in the world. Cannabis is now one of the most thoroughly studied plants with more than 100 cannabinoids isolated and identified, including delta 9, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG). Studies of cannabis have investigated the potential benefits of phytocannabinoids for several diseas ..read more

The CBD Extraction and Purification Process

The CBD extraction and purification process The extraction of Cannabis plant material and the purification of distinct fractions will be a step-wise process. Each step will result in a smaller amount of material in an increasingly purified form. We will produce pure CBD extract free of all of the possible contaminants in the plant (i.e. other cannabinoids, terpenes, waxes, chlorophyll and any other chemicals). It will also be possible to isolate other cannabinoids (e.g.THC, etc.) from the original extracted material. It is important that the extraction processes are undertaken at low temperatu ..read more

Cannabis Concentrates

What are cannabis concentrates? Cannabis concentrates are the cannabinoids of the cannabis plant that have been extracted using one of the extraction methods described below. They are usually made by covering cannabis plant material with a solvent. After the solvent has extracted the cannabinoids from the plant material, the solvent is evaporated away leaving behind the extracted concentrated cannabinoid oil. They are significantly more potent than cannabis flowers and their applications as medicine have proven to be diverse and effective. The extraction of cannabis concentrates is a complex ..read more

Stage 7. Fractionation and concentration of CBD from the cannabinoid-enriched material. There are a number of processes that could be applied to the cannabinoid-enriched material to isolate a CBD-enriched product. These include Supercritical Fluid (CO2) Extraction (SFE), Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC), Molecular Distillation, Crystallization, etc. Ultimately, we are seeking to produce an purified extract that contains at least 98% of the desired cannabinoid.

Stage 4. Primary extraction of the dried and milled Cannabis plant material. The dried and milled plant material will be extracted with the solvent of choice (e.g. ethanol) to generate a liquid extract of the Cannabis plant. This crude extract will contain the cannabinoids, the terpenes and the waxes (along with chlorophyll and other chemicals). Alternative solvents include other gaseous solvents (e.g. propane, butane, CO2, etc.) or liquid solvents (e.g. Ethanol, Methanol, Hexane, etc.). Solvent-extracted material needs to be concentrated by the evaporation of the solvent from the extract ..read more

Breed Cannabis– Breeding cannabis plants with the desired composition. Grow Cannabis- Growing cannabis plants under optimal conditions. Harvest/ Drying Cannabis: Drying cannabis plants when the level of cannabinoids and terpenes are optimal (maximal). Stage 1. Selection and development of the appropriate plant cultivar. The most appropriate cannabis cultivar will be grown under desired conditions. For CBD isolation and purification, these plants will probably be clones of a cultivar with high CBD (>5%) and low THC (<0.5%). The process for selection and cultivation has been est ..read more
