CO2 Supercritical Extract
Virginia Herb; CO2 Extract
Here is some food for your brain explaining CO2 supercritical extraction. Supercritical is a word that describes a state of matter for a solvent that would normally be a gas at room temperature and pressure. By manipulating the temperature and pressure of the solvent it becomes a liquid capable of extracting the active ingredients from a wide range of plant material. While most people are familiar with Co2 being what makes soda pop fizzy, in its supercritical state it becomes an ideal liquid solvent. Co2 is used since it leaves no harmful solvent residue and evaporates completely from the extract at room temperature. One of the best things about Co2 extraction is that it's possible to isolate very specific fractions from the plant materials based on molecular weight. This helps to separate unwanted compounds and concentrate the desired compounds. Also the supercritical fluid is able to penetrate into hard to reach spaces in your Bio Mass that would normally be untapped with traditional solvent methods. What you get with Co2 extract is a translucent beautiful oil that smokes super clean and smooth, it’s the future bro.
