If a processor uses a solvent to strip the trichomes away from the plant material then it is considered to be an
Extract
Why does butane extraction provide a rich terpene profile?
The boiling point of butane is low, preventing the need to raise the temperature and destroy terpenes
What two factors are manipulated so that carbon dioxide acts as a solvent?
Temperature and pressure
What statement is true about supercritical CO2 extraction and subcritical CO2 extraction?
The supercritical process is usually performed with pressure upwards of 5,000 psi.
Why is winterization performed on cannabis extractions and concentrates?
To improve viscosity and stability by removing waxes with the use of below freezing temperatures and ethanol.
What can occur if during the process of winterization temperatures go below -50 C?
Other lipids like cannabinoids and terpenes will precipitate out.
The cannabis product, rosin, can be labeled as a:
Concentrate
What two factors are manipulated in carbon dioxide extraction?
Temperature and pressure
What is the difference between supercritical CO2 extraction and subcritical CO2 extraction?
Subcritical is where carbon dioxide is a liquid
What is a benefit to cold ethanol extraction?
Sub-freezing temperatures keep unwanted compounds like water and chlorophyll from being extracted.
What is the main benefit of winterization?
To force the waxes, lipids, and fats to precipate out of the cannabis oil.
What statement is true about the polarity of secondary metabolites in cannabis?
The secondary metabolites are nonpolar which is why hydrocarbons can extract them so easily from cannabis biomass.
What is the optimal temperature range for cold ethanol extraction?
-30 C to -40 C
How can one possess 200 proof ethanol in New York state?
By possessing a state issued license
When should someone consider leaving the fats and lipids in a cannabis product?
If the end product is an edible or topical.
Which extraction method eliminates mold and other microbial contaminants?
