Provided herein is a method to extract bioactive phospholipids from fish roe, particularly from salmon roe, providing an extraction solvent composition mixture of chloroform, ethanol, and isopropanol.

This disclosure relates to techniques and methods to isolate and purify cannabinoids, such as CBDV, CBD, CBC, THCV, THC, CBN, CBG, CBDA, THCA, or CBGA. Evaporation and sonicating techniques are used to isolate and purify cannabinoids, such as CBDV, CBD, CBC, THCV, THC, CBN, CBG, CBDA, THCA, or CBGA. The resulting compounds find further use within the devices and compositions described herein as well as for preparative and analytical methods.

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.

The present invention relates to a system for extracting/separating a caffeine-rich powder from the silverskin which surrounds the coffee seed/bean using an apparatus comprising at least one chamber for premixing distilled water and silverskin, an ultrasonic extraction cell comprising at least one module comprising at least one acoustic transducer and one acoustic radiation emitter, at least one mechanical separation tank, at least one drying unit and at least one apparatus monitoring/control unit, wherein the caffeine-rich powder is extracted/separated as a result of the breakdown of the silverskin molecular structure by the acoustic energy generated by the vibratory movement of the acoustic radiation emitter actuated by the acoustic transducer, and as a result of the chemical affinity of caffeine for distilled water.

The invention relates to methods for producing botanical extracts comprising cannabinoids and terpenes using cold extraction with highly polyunsaturated lipid solvents. These methods allow for the extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes while leaving behind impurities that are commonly found in organic solvent extraction methods.

Methods for extracting and concentrating cannabinoids using ultrasound-enhanced solvent extraction. Freshly harvested cannabis plant materials, which may be selectively chosen plant parts or the entire plant itself, are shredded to a particular particle size. The plant material is then mixed with a solvent to form a slurry, and thereafter subjected to ultrasound to release intracellular contents into the solvent. Filtering steps are then applied to remove biomass, waxes and chlorophyll. Water removal and solvent recovery steps are further applied to ultimately derive an extract having high concentrations of target cannabinoids, and in particular cannabidiol (CBD). The methods may be deployed on-site in batch or continuous flow processes, and may further be utilized to derive other types of materials from plants, such as essential oils.

The invention relates to methods of producing extracts from cannabis plant material, where the extracts comprise cannabinoids and terpenes. The methods comprise extracting fresh or dried plant material with a cold organic solvent. The methods allow for the extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes, while leaving behind impurities such as waxes and chlorophyll that are commonly found in extractions with room temperature (RT) or warm solvent extraction methods. The methods can produce extracts having more than 90% cannabinoids.

Proposed are an aqueous two-phase system nanofilter capable of effectively separating particles having different sizes within a short time, and a separation method using same. The aqueous two-phase system nanofilter can separate mixed nanoparticles having a size difference of approximately 10 nm, through the designing of a composition constituting each composition. The separated nanoparticles can be applied across industries such as electronics, photoelectronics and magnetic fields, biomedical, medical and cosmetic fields, energy, catalysts, and structures.

A cannabis oil extraction apparatus may include an extraction unit, condenser, winterization unit, micron filter, preheater, short-path distillation unit, and condenser. The extraction unit may utilize cellular disruption in a food grade solvent to extract cannabis oil from plant material. The short-path distillation unit may utilize molecular distillation. The short-path distillation unit may include a recirculation loop for multiple passes through the short-path distillation unit to separate extract components by weight. In one example, multiple short-path distillation units may be aligned is series to incrementally separate extract components by weight.

The disclosure relates to a Cannabis seed processing method and system comprising ultrasonic treatment of Cannabis seeds coupled to a membrane extraction system for efficient recovery of hemp seed oil.
