Cannabis Extraction Options Professor DeBacco Why Extract? Extraction allows for a purified product from the cannabis plant, that is showing increased popularity among consumers. Extracts also offer more consistent dosing. There are different methods of extraction each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Water Based Extraction Advantages Elimination of additional sample clean up Ease of automation Cheap solvent (water) Disadvantages Long residence time of extracts has an increased risk of phytochemical degradation. Rosin Advantages Near pure concentrate produced Relatively simple and easy process with minimal specialized equipment required. Disadvantages High pressure rosin presses can be extremely dangerous if misused It is easy to burn the extract if not properly pressed Distillation Method of Extraction Advantages Extremely pure product, when compared to other extraction methods. Complete control over terpenes and flavonoids Easily automated Disadvantages A very costly and long process with multiple steps Takes days to pass 1 liter of crude oil through the machine The distillation process strips the cannabis of all compounds except for the desired compound, which can have a dramatic effect on the terpenes when adding them back into the mixture. Alcohol (Ethanol) Extraction Advantages Cost effective for large amounts Alcohol extraction can pull a broader range of compounds from the plant than other extraction methods No risk of leaving toxic residual chemicals in the final cannabis extract. Disadvantages Ethanol has a much higher boiling point than other solvents, which could lead to a longer process Post processing is extensive, several refinements must be made to the extract before it is consumer ready. Can be extremely dangerous, significant fire hazard if indoors Carbon Dioxide Extraction Advantages Less valuable material wasted Specific compounds with adjustments made to heat, pressure, and runtime No residual solvent in the final product due to evaporation of CO2 Disadvantages Much higher initial start up cost when compared to other extraction methods Even once purchased the equipment requires proper training and safety procedures to be understood and followed. Hydrocarbon Extraction Advantages There are a wide range of extract types that can be achieved through hydrocarbon extraction Can be done with trim and flower. Relatively low equipment and run costs Disadvantages EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, butane and propane are highly flammable and extreme caution must be used when extracting with hydrocarbons. Unwanted compounds could make it through the extraction process and would need to be later refined.
