As markets mature, manufacturing terpene blends have become a new art form and a differentiating factor for potential therapeutic applications. Here, we dive deeper into the insights of terpene formulation considerations.

This article explores chromatographic separation techniques for the efficient purification of cannabinoids along with the benefits and drawbacks of these separation methods.

This piece reviews the rise of distillate in the market, how this has helped and hurt manufacturers, and predictions for the future.

For cannabis processors that do not cultivate, sourcing biomass is critical to determining the cost and quality of the cannabis extracts that are produced. Here, we review the variables in sourcing cannabis biomass and the impact they have on extraction outcomes.

Searching for purer, minor cannabinoids is the goal of new extraction research as extractors dig deeper into the diversity of the plant.

The current challenges and future perspectives of the purification of cannabinoids from cannabis extracts are presented in this review article.

In this article, we explore how cannabis extraction technology can preserve the acidic cannabinoids in the process.

In this article, we explore the difference in chemical profile between fresh and dry cannabis flower and why manufacturers may choose to extract frozen or dry cannabis.

This installment discusses new methods of cannabis production and manufacturers' reactions to the rise of the demand for cannabis artisan extracted products.

In this article, Markus Roggen demonstrates a new method for recapturing terpenes lost during the cannabis extraction process.

There goes another year in the books. This review of 2022’s extraction greatest hits takes a look at discoveries, advancements in technology, and other highlights from the year. This article also lays out some predictions for 2023, which is set up to be an interesting year with less access to funding that could slow the development of new technology or innovation in the extraction space.

This study, which evaluated the potential of a well-designed unidirectional aseptic processing approach to both hydrocarbon and supercritical carbon dioxide extract manufacturing, suggests that the extraction process is capable of deactivating or removing the tested microbial contaminants when highly contaminated Cannabis spp. Inflorescence is used as feed material.

A review of the claims that differences in extract type can affect cost, ease of formulation, and the experience of the finished product.

The various extract types are defined so there can be some consensus once and for all.

In Part II of this interview, Jaqueline McGrane, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Boulder Creek Technologies (BCT) explains the importance of consumers being able to recognize the differences between acidic and neutral cannabinoids, especially when considering current product labelling practices.

In part I of this interview, Jaqueline McGrane, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Boulder Creek Technologies, gives an in-depth description of the unique functionality of their extraction system and the advantages it provides to clients in terms of efficacy, quality, and safety.

Part II of this series reviews the history of vape products, producing cannabis vapes, the myriad of extract types, and how temperature and hardware impact the user experience.

Different extraction processes, new products, and new equipment combine to create the perfect storm of better, safer extractions.

AC Braddock, the CEO of Eden Labs, shares a preview of the talk she plans to give at Cannabis Science Conference West as well as other industry insights.

This article describes the nature of supercritical fluids and how they can be used in the cannabis industry.

In part one of this two-part series, we review the history of vape products and their obstacles.

Here we explore the evolution of solventless extraction methods and the differentiating characteristics that may be driving its market growth.

Let’s check back in with some of our top authors over the years to get their insight on how their articles resonated with readers and where the cannabis industry is headed.

THC isomers are defined and discussed to better understand where they come from, how they are produced, and how they are being distributed.

An overview of standard hydrocarbon extract filtration equipment and media.

Here, we explore the evolution and rise of color remediation methods in-line with extraction.
