Solvents
This category focuses on the selection, use, and management of solvents in botanical extraction. Ethanol, hexane, greener alternatives, supercritical CO2, everything is here. Get all the updates on solvent recovery systems, innovations in solvent reuse practices, and just-in solvent technologies. We focus on the advantages and limitations of each solvent type, and most importantly — their impact on extract quality and environmental sustainability.
Ultrasound Extraction for High Pressure Solvents
Researchers recently reviewed ultrasound assistance for green high-pressure solvent systems like supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2). Ultrasound irradiation presents several benefits:...
Advances in Lipid Extraction Using Green Solvents
Green solvents are meant to spare human health and the environment. They’re measured by green chemistry principles such as waste...
Terpenes as Solvents for Extraction
Terpenes are a common target of botanical extraction; they are also valuable byproducts re-introduced into concentrates. But can terpenes act...
Residual Solvents in Extraction Products
Residual solvents may adversely affect cannabis concentrate quality and the consumer’s health. Generally they are the result of unpurified extract;...
Extracting Limonene with Bio-Based Solvents
