Tops Cannabis Discusses Distillate Extraction Advances

(Newswire.net — March 23, 2017) Huntington Beach, CA — As the medical marijuana industry continues to grow, advances in technology are making patient-oriented products more effective than ever. Tops Cannabis, medical marijuana delivery service in Orange County, California, recently discussed one of the most promising new technologies. This technology is known as “distillate extraction”, and it promises to change the edibles and concentrates industry. This revolutionary extraction method is expected to improve several aspects of marijuana edibles across the industry. “It is exciting technology,” says a spokesperson for the cannabis delivery service. “Patients will be able to get better products and more consistent potency than ever before.” To learn more about distillation extraction, visit http://www.nutritionalhigh.com/how-distillate-extraction-is-transforming-the-marijuana-edibles-and-oils-industry/.

Traditional methods of extracting the active chemical compounds, or cannabinoids, from marijuana lead to inconsistent products. One batch of edibles, such as cookies or candies, could have lower potency than subsequent batches. Patients were not able to ensure effective management of their health conditions when faced with this product inconsistency. Temperature and time play an important role in the quality of the extraction of the cannabinoid compounds; excessive heat over too long of a period can dramatically degrade the resulting extract. Distillate extraction, on the other hand, is a carefully-controlled process that is designed to maximize potency, flavor, and stability. Properly termed the “short path distillation technique”, the method can create 99% potency levels. In the traditional extraction methods of the past, potency rates may reach 80% under ideal conditions, with typical levels substantially lower.

The short path distillation technique uses low temperatures and high vacuum to distill low-boiling-point cannabinoids from plant material. Usually conducted in laboratory-like conditions, the method has singlehandedly advanced the science of cannabinoid extraction. By carefully controlling heat during the distillation process, unwanted compounds are left behind. The end result is more pure, more consistent extraction product. The low heat of the method also improves the shelf life of the extracted compounds. A final benefit of the short path distillation method is improved flavor of the products made from the cannabinoid extracts. The low heat of the process does not impart harsh flavors to the extracts, giving edibles producers something to celebrate. “As cannabis edibles and concentrates producers adopt this distillation technology, product consistency will improve dramatically,” adds the spokesperson for the California delivery service. “Patients can now expect a higher level of effectiveness from the products they rely on for pain management.” For more information on the Tops Cannabis company and their specialized delivery service to patients in the Southern California region, visit https://topscannabis.com/.
