Application of Large Supercritical Extraction Equipment in Natural Product Development

Image
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is one of the most advanced separation and extraction technologies in the world. In recent decades, it has attracted great interest of researchers all over the world. Through the efforts of researchers, it has made considerable progress. In the fields of medicine, chemical industry, food, petroleum, environmental protection and cosmetics, a number of valuable topics have been completed, and a new industry has been formed worldwide. Developing and utilizing supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) technology to realize large-scale industrial production is a major breakthrough in transforming dozens or hundreds of scientific research achievements that have been developed in the laboratory into productivity and economic benefits. Supercritical fluids have special solubility, which was discovered by Americans at the end of the 19th century. It was not until the 1970s that Germany was applied to beer processing to extract beer and other industrial applicati...

What's the CBD Isolate Extraction Process

Image
The process starts using Cannabis fresh plant material with a moisture content of 7 - 10% as raw material. CBD Supercritical Fluid CO2 Extraction Equipment Process : Process flow diagram - CBD isolate manufacturing SCFE Using a pin milling equipment, cannabis size is reduced to about 3 - 5 mm increasing extraction surface area and therefore cannabinoids recovery efficiency. Cannabis decarboxylation (transforming acid cannabinoids into their neutral forms with higher activity) is achieved by a heating process under specific time and temperature conditions using a forced ventilation oven. Besides decarboxylation, drying process also reduces initial moisture content of the plant. The process continues using SC-CO2 as solvent for the extraction. Temperature and contact time conditions between the solvent CO2 and the plant ensure the greatest amount of extractable material with the highest concentration of active compounds. After extraction is completed, wasted material...
