Extraction method comprising an extraction step, during which a plant substrate is caused to come into contact with an aqueous liquid so that cannabinoids are extracted from the plant substrate and carried to the aqueous liquid; the aqueous liquid comprises at least 40% by weight, relative to the total weight of the aqueous liquid, of water and a complexing component; the complexing component is at least one cyclodextrin; the composition obtained is surprisingly stable and the cannabinoids extracted, in particular the acid cannabinoids, which are normally unstable, can be conserved for long periods of time.

The present disclosure provides an extract of early-harvested Citrus reticulata fruit, and a method for reducing lipid accumulation by using the extract of early-harvested Citrus reticulata fruit. The extract of early-harvested Citrus reticulata fruit includes tetramethylisoscutellarein.

The present invention relates to processes for forming eutectic extracts, processes for purifying eutectic extracts and uses of the eutectic extracts such as in food-stuffs, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and supplements, such as food supplements and sports supplements.

A food contains a vitamin D.sub.2 mushroom oil. A content of vitamin D.sub.2 in unit dose of the food is not less than 0.5 μg. The vitamin D.sub.2 mushroom oil has a peroxide value less than or equal to 15 meq/kg and an acid value less than or equal to 3 mg/g. The vitamin D.sub.2 mushroom oil is prepared through a step of subjecting a vitamin D.sub.2-containing mushroom powder to extraction with an edible oil. The food contains a nutrient selected from the group consisting of perilla oil, walnut oil, linseed oil, peanut oil, olive oil, arachidonic acid (ARA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), vitamin A, calcium alginate and a combination thereof.

A process and apparatus for extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plant material plant material and for transporting low concentrations of cannabinoids in a solution of solvent may include a solvent tank, a hopper, and one or more pumps. A plurality of valves may also be incorporated into the invention. Plant material may be soaked, washed, and/or rinsed with a solvent that extracts essential elements from cannabis plant matter. The process may minimally include filling a hopper with plant mater, moving solvent from a solvent tank to the hopper, and moving solvent back to the solvent tank after an extraction. Repeating this process a plurality of times with new plant material increases the concentration cannabinoids in the solvent tank after each time the process is performed.

A solvent-free method to extract THCA from cannabis, said method comprising: providing a source of THCA-containing cannabis plant; providing a source of natural oil; combining said source of THCA-containing cannabis and said source of natural oil into a blend; milling said blend; optionally, heating the blend during the milling; and extracting a THCA-containing liquid generated during the milling.

A gluten-free grain concentrate (GFGC) drug product and stepwise process to prepare GFGC from the treatment of raw unground wheat germ, is provided resulting in a product having at least three active components including (a) 1% to 3% 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-hydroquinone; (b) 2% to 4% monomethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone; and (c) 0.5% to 1.5% monomethoxy-1,4-hydroquinone; and at least one inactive component: 2,6 dimethyl benzoquinone.

A method for producing a terpene-enhanced cannabinoid concentrate and for removing contaminants such as pesticides and fungicides from cannabinoid extracts. Cannabinoid extracts containing contaminants may be dissolved in a water and ethanol solution, and then cooled to allow water-soluble contaminants to settle out of the mixture. The water and ethanol may then be removed via evaporation or distillation, leaving purified cannabinoids without contaminants. Contaminant removal may be incorporated into a method for producing a blended extract of cannabinoids and terpenes, which extracts terpenes using supercritical CO2, and extracts a cannabinoid concentrate from the residual material using a cold ethanol flush followed by distillation and then by contaminant removal; the CO2-extracted terpenes are then added back to the purified cannabinoid concentrate in a final blending step. Blending terpenes at the end of extraction may enhance the flavor and effectiveness of the purified cannabinoid concentrate.

Use of an olive oil milling by-product (Alperujo or Olive Pomace) for the co-processing and co-extraction of natural compounds from medicinal and aromatic plants, fruits and agricultural waste, algae and other microorganisms. Separation and stabilization of fractions containing either hydrophilic or liposoluble compounds. The plants may include Cannabis.

The invention relates to a method for separating natural substance mixtures, in particular those consisting of plant extracts, and for isolating and purifying and obtaining same, by means of sequential centrifugal partition chromatography (sCPC).
