AdvancedSupercritical CO2 ExtractionThe process of using pressurized carbon dioxide to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis plant material without leaving toxic solvent residues.
IntermediateGood Manufacturing Practices (GMP)A system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards to minimize risks involved in pharmaceutical or food production.
ExpertHigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)An analytical chemistry technique used to separate, identify, and quantify each component in a cannabis extract mixture.
IntermediateWinterization and DewaxingThe chemical process of using sub-zero temperatures and solvents to remove fats, waxes, and lipids from crude cannabis oil.
IntermediateRotary EvaporationThe use of a vacuum system and heat to efficiently and gently remove solvents from extracts via evaporation.
AdvancedTerpene ProfilingThe analysis of aromatic compounds within the cannabis plant to determine the specific strain characteristics and flavor profiles.
IntermediateHazardous Material HandlingThe safe management, storage, and disposal of volatile solvents and chemicals used in the extraction process.
