One of the most fascinating aspects of the cannabis industry is the various extraction methods used to create concentrates and other cannabis-derived products. Let’s dive into the technical details of some popular extraction techniques:

1. CO2 Extraction

CO2 extraction is a sophisticated method that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull desired compounds from cannabis plant material. This process involves:

– Cooling CO2 to a liquid state
– Increasing pressure to create a supercritical fluid
– Passing the fluid through cannabis material to extract cannabinoids and terpenes
– Separating the extract from the CO2

This method is prized for its ability to preserve delicate terpenes and produce a clean, solvent-free extract.

2. Hydrocarbon Extraction

Hydrocarbon extraction typically uses butane or propane as solvents. The process includes:

– Passing the solvent through cannabis material
– Collecting the resulting solution
– Purging the solvent using heat and vacuum
– Refining the extract into various consistencies (shatter, wax, etc.)

This method is known for its efficiency and ability to produce high-potency extracts.

3. Ethanol Extraction

Ethanol extraction is a versatile method that can be performed at various temperatures:

– Cold extraction: Preserves more terpenes but may extract more chlorophyll
– Room temperature extraction: Balanced approach
– Hot extraction: Faster but may degrade some compounds

The resulting extract is then refined through processes like winterization and distillation.
