CBD Extraction By Ultrasonic Sonicator

ULTRASONIC EXTRACTION:

Ultrasonic assisted extraction is an effective and rapid technique for extracting cannabis concentrate. It does improve the diffusion process by accelerating mass transfer within plant materials, resulting in the cell wall ruptures and releases the desired compound. The vibrating ultrasonic probe immersed in the liquid will transmit alternating high and low pressure waves. These fluctuations cause the cohesion of the liquid molecules to break down, pulling the liquid apart millions of microbubbles (cavities) are created, which expand and implode during the low pressure phase intense in the high pressure phase. As the bubble bursts, millions of microscopic shockwaves, microjets and eddies are generated at the site of the implosion and spread around medium. Although this phenomenon, known as cavitation, lasts only a few microseconds, and each individual bubble releases the least amount of energy, the cumulative amount of energy the extremely high levels produced by the imploding cavity promote surface spalling, erosion and particles decomposition. By destroying cells in this way, solvent penetration is enhanced and accelerated release of bioactive compounds and other ingredients from the biological matrix into the extract

medium. 

Because focused ultrasound extraction provides more than 100 times the radiated energy, it is produced in an ultrasonic bath and is ideal for extracting beneficial cannabinoids.

When extracted properly, the resulting concentrate is reminiscent of the cannabis strain from which it was extracted from - Due to the large weight concentration, the taste smell and effect are simply amplified. 

On average, cannabis plant buds will produce about 15% of the extract concentrate. As expected, quality

Extracts and bioavailability depend largely on the number and potency of the plant. 

BENEFITS OF ULTRASONIC EXTRACTION:

1. Low cost 

2. High yields 

3. Wide range of solvent 

4. Rapid, safe and efficient 

5. Low energy consumption 

6. Neutralize bacteria, mold and fungi from extracted material  

7. Non-thermal - terpenes and cannabinoids are not denatured 

8. Increase solute extraction in a shorter time and at lower temperature
