The present invention is the process of preparing enriched fraction of Bacopa monnieri extract Bacosane. Bacopa monnieri extract Bacosane is chemically standardized with 8 different bioactive compounds. The 8 bioactive compounds are asiatic acid, ebelin lactone, Bacogenin A1, bhramic acid, Bacoside A3, Bacopaside 1, Bacopaside 2 and jujubogenin. The process of preparing the Bacopa monnieri extract Bacosane is carried by extraction with ethanol, concentration, water washing, layer separation, extraction with ethyl acetate, concentration of ethyl acetate layer, water addition or IPA washing, spray drying or vacuum drying, milling, sieving, blending and packing of the resultant Bacopa monnieri extract Bacosane.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for phytochemical extraction. One example extraction system includes two solvent columns, a material column, and a dewaxing column. The solvent columns store and provide solvent for stripping target chemicals from plant material in the material column. The solvent mixed with target chemicals passes into the dewaxing column, where the target chemicals are separated from waxes and lipids. Cooling is applied to elements of the system by way of an open-loop CO2 refrigeration method. Solvent is moved from the solvent columns to the material column by creating a pressure differential between the two solvent columns.

A feedstock processing system extracts a product from a solid using a CTSE system comprising a plurality of continuous stirred tank extraction stages arranged in fluid communication with each other in series such that effluent from one stage flows to a next stage in the series. One of the stages has an inlet to allow a measured amount of liquid solvent and the solid to be introduced to the continuous stirred tank extraction stage. The stage mixes the solid with the introduced solvent to form a homogeneous slurry to enable the product associated with the solid to be extracted with the solvent. A solid-liquid separator is arranged in fluid communication with the continuous stirred tank extraction stages, and receives an effluent from one of the stages and separates the liquid solvent containing the product from the solid to form a product-containing liquid and a product-depleted solid.

A powdered, water-soluble Full Spectrum Hemp Oil is formed using organic materials and natural products to form a non-GMO, fast acting, whole plant hemp extract without harsh chemicals such as hexane. The Full Spectrum Hemp Oil may be extracted using CO2 concurrent gas extraction to avoid use of chemical additives.

The present invention generally relates to a method of reducing contamination from plastics. The resulting purer plastic can be used in demanding applications.

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.

A method for extracting compounds from plant material utilizing terpenes as a solvent is described. The invention includes the excitation of the plant material and terpene solvent with microwave, ultrasound, heat input, and physical agitation or combinations thereof. The invention particularly covers the process as it relates to the extraction of THC and CBD and their derivatives from cannabis and hemp for the use in products for medical and recreational use. The combinations of terpene saturant, plant material strain and process variables can be tuned in order to dial in the final resultant product for several variables including but not limited to terpene content, THC or CBD potency, ratios of THC or CBD and their derivatives, or flavor profile.

Methods for increasing cannabinoid production in growing cannabis plants, and for lowering the hydrophobicity of soil are described. Foliar application of compositions comprising cannabinoids extracted from Cannabis sativa hemp to the growing plants and/or drenching the soil surrounding the growing cannabis plants therewith have been demonstrated to produce significant changes in cannabinoid production, thereby generating an increase in the marketable portion of the crop. Additionally, application of these compositions to the soil reduces soil hydrophobicity.

Systems and methods for extracting solute from a source material in multiple canister systems are shown and described.

A process (100) for the recovery of solvent (1) from solvent-containing cellulosic particles (2) is shown, the process comprising the steps: a) extracting the solvent (1) from the cellulosic particles (2) by means of a liquid extraction medium (3), thereby obtaining a solvent-enriched extraction medium (5), and b) obtaining the recovered solvent (6) from the solvent-enriched extraction medium (5). In order to improve the efficiency of the process, it is proposed that in step a) the solvent (1) is extracted from the cellulosic particles (2) in a continuous flow extraction reactor (4), wherein the extraction medium (3) continuously flows through the extraction reactor (4) to extract the solvent (1) from the cellulosic particles (2).
