A method of purifying cannabis derived terpenes includes first providing cannabis material having a detectable amount of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), adding a solvent to the cannabis material, spinning the cannabis material in a centrifuge to separate crystallized THCA from a high terpene extract. Decarboxilating the THCA with heat to yield tetrahydrocannabinol. The high terpene extract is deposited into a vacuum oven to reduce pressure and volatilize terpenes from the high terpene extract. Next the terpenes are pumped into a cold trap to condense terpenes from the high terpene extract. Next, the condensed terpenes are cooled at a temperature between −50° C. and 0° C. to remove water from the condensed terpenes and yield purified terpenes. The purified terpenes are applied to an edible food product containing decarboxylated tetrahydrocannabinol. In an alternate embodiment, the tetrahydrocannabinol and the purified terpenes are combined or recombined and mixed directly into a precooked edible food product.

The present document describes a system and a process for the extraction of several products from apple peel. There are several unit operations involved including an ultrafiltration unit, concentration unit, and a three stage counter current separator centrifuge wherein water is used as the solvent. The final products that are extracted from apple peel include pectin, syrup, fibers, as well as soluble and dried retentate fractions.

Device (V) for obtaining a wort (WO) from a mash (MA) in the beer brewing or beverage industry, at least comprising a receiving unit (AG) for receiving the mash (MA); at least one separating device (T; T1, T2) each having a surface (FA; FA1, FA2); wherein the surface (FA) has a multiplicity of openings (OP); wherein the device (V) is preferably suitable for separating the mash (MA) into the wort (WO) and a residual mash (RM) by means of the surface (FA) of the separating device (T); wherein the surface (FA; FA1, FA2) or a part thereof can be brought into contact with the mash (MA), if the mash (MA) is present in the receiving unit (AG) for separation into the wort (WO) and the residual mash (RM); and wherein, during the operation of the device (V), the surface (FA) is arranged such that it is moved or can be moved or can be rotated relative to the mash (MA), the residual mash (RM) and/or the receiving unit (AG).

The present invention relates to a process for preparing an extract from Cannabis comprising an extraction step of treating the Cannabis with carbon dioxide at a temperature of between 0° C. to 15° C. and a pressure between 1250 psi and 1600 psi to obtain an extract; and centrifuging the extract between 20° C. to 40° C.

A closed rotatable extraction system includes at least two tubes where one tube accepts an extractable material, and the system can be evacuated through a valve in the system. At least one conduit comprises at least one flexible hose, bent ridged pipe, t-pipe, curved pipe, or any combination thereof. At least one valve that when open allows evacuation of the system, and optionally for introduction of a solvent for extraction. When the at least one valve is closed a solvent vapor atmosphere is defined as almost exclusively or exclusively the solvent vapor and has a gas pressure that is about the solvents vapor pressure or less in the closed rotatable extraction system. The closed rotatable extraction system or a portion thereof can involve a first rotation orientation for liquid transfer and a second orientation for a vapor transfer.

A system and method for extracting essential oils from organic material is provided. One embodiment places organic material into an extraction chamber that is a cylindrical wall of rigid material, wherein a diameter and a height of the extraction chamber is sized to define an interior that accommodates a desired amount of an organic material having essential oils; fills the extraction chamber with a solvent after the organic matter has been placed into the extraction chamber; and moves a vortex plunger disposed over the surface of the organic material in a repeated upward and downward motion during an agitation process so that the vortex vanes generate a fluid vortex in the solvent, wherein the fluid vortex causes the solvent to be drawn upward into the organic material and then to be pushed downward through the organic material so that the solvent extracts essential oils from the organic material.

The industrial production of an extract by means of solid-liquid extraction improves the exchange of substances during extraction and allows enhanced dehumidification of a raffinate with residual moisture.

The extraction is enhanced during a first dwell time by at least partially flooding a vessel in the form of at least one flow discharged with a secondary solvent or the obtained extract, swirling and keeping in suspension the primary mixture within the vessel by supplying the secondary solvent or the obtained extract via a foot area of the vessel, and/or moving the vessel relative to the extraction container within the obtained extract.

The secondary solvent or the extract circulates in the extraction container by a circulation guide incorporating the extraction container from top to bottom relative to the extraction container, and the extract freed from raffinate with residual moisture obtained by dehumidification is supplied to the separated or to be separated extract.

A device, system and method are for treating a suspension, containing plant constituents, in particular separating a liquid or a solid therefrom, in the field of production of food, pharmaceutical and luxury products, and to corresponding uses. The device for continuously or discontinuously treating a suspension, in particular for separating a liquid or liquid phase or a solid or a residual phase from the suspension includes: a receiving unit for receiving the suspension and at least one separating device having a surface having openings. The surface can be brought into contact with the suspension, if the suspension is present in the receiving unit for separation into the liquid phase and the solid phase. During the operation of the device, the surface is arranged such that it is moved or can be moved or can be rotated relative to the suspension, the solid phase and/or the receiving unit.
