In alternative embodiments, provided are methods for extracting essential oils, phytochemicals and pharmaceutically active components such as terpenes, phytochemicals and pharmaceutically active components from biomass or any plant materials. In alternative embodiments, provided are methods for making synthetic formulations comprising biomass-derived plant materials using essential oils, phytochemicals and pharmaceutically active components isolated by methods as provided herein. In alternative embodiments, provided are synthetic biomass-derived formulations and plant materials using essential oils, phytochemicals and pharmaceutically active components isolated by methods as provided herein.

A system for removing undesirable organic compounds so that the desirable cannabinoids, terpenes, and any other beneficial organic compounds can be easily and effectively captured is provided herein. The system makes use of diatomaceous earth filters through which a solution containing the organic compounds is rinsed with liquid non-polar solvent. The undesirable components remain in the diatomaceous while the beneficial organic compounds pass through and are collected in a liquid solution.

A method of making CBD concentrate or CBD Isolate comprises (a) milling a raw material; (b) contacting the milled raw material with an extraction solvent and separating a solid waste material to form a filtered extract; (c) concentrating the filtered extract; (d) washing the concentrated extract to form an organic phase and an aqueous phase; (e) separating the aqueous phase from the organic phase to form a washed extract; (f) removing an organic solvent from the washed extract to form a concentrated washed extract; (g) decarboxylating the concentrated washed extract; (h) vacuum distilling the decarboxylated extract to form a distillate; (i) dewaxing the distillate to form a post-dewax filtrate; (j) applying a vacuum to the post-dewax filtrate to form a post-dewax concentrate; (k) degassing the post-dewax concentrate; and (l) vacuum distilling the degassed concentrate to form a CBD concentrate.

Systems and methods for extracting a compound of interest from plant material, such as acannabidiol (CBD) from cannabis, are provided. Particularly, the disclosed systems and methods utilize a crude oil to separate water, fats, and proteins prior to preparation of a CBD distillate. The systems and methods are operable with conventional solvents containing between about 5 wt % and about 8 wt % water.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for extraction, isolation, purification, and conversion of various cannabinoids, and modifications of whole-plant hemp extracts therewith are presented. A method for preparing a whole-plant hemp extract based product includes extracting cannabinoids from plant materials, such as one or more hemp varieties of Cannabis sativa. The method also includes separating and purifying CBD from the extracted cannabinoids, converting purified CBD to Δ9-THC and Δ8-THC and concurrently converting Δ9-THC to CBN, purifying and separating the CBN, and combining the purified CBN with a whole-plan hemp extract. Products and supplements related to the method are also described.
