Hydrocarbon-based Extraction from Cannabis Biomass
FY 2022-23 · 2022-05-01
Summary
Hydrocarbon extraction uses butane and/or propane as primary extraction solvents and involves processing of terpene-rich fresh frozen biomass. This allows for the development of a myriad of novel, high-end, product outputs including shatter, wax, live resin, high terpene extracts (HTE) and cannabinoid isolates (99.9% pure). Given the complexity of the various post-processing techniques required to create these end products, there is an opportunity to develop significant IP in this space and to service the rapidly growing recreational and medicinal cannabis markets.

Description
Hydrocarbon extraction uses butane and/or propane as primary extraction solvents and involves processing of terpene-rich fresh frozen biomass.

Description (French)
L'extraction des hydrocarbures utilise le butane ou le propane comme solvants primaires d'extraction et implique le traitement de la biomasse congelée fraîche riche en terpènes. Cela permet l’élaboration d'une myriade de produits nouveaux et haut de gamme, notamment des éclats, de la cire, de la résine vivante, des extraits à haute teneur en terpènes (HTE) et des isolats de cannabinoïdes (purs à 99,9 %). Compte tenu de la complexité des diverses techniques de post-traitement nécessaires à la création de ces produits finis, il est possible de mettre au point une propriété intellectuelle importante dans ce domaine et de desservir les marchés du cannabis récréatif et médicinal, qui connaissent une croissance rapide.
