Abstract
A method for extracting resins and oils from a plant includes: 1) tumbling, inside a container at a temperature of at most 50 degrees Fahrenheit with a tumbler, plant fibers having one or more portions that contain resins and/or oils; 2) colliding the tumbler with the plant fibers to release the one or more portions that contain resins and/or oils from the remainder of the plant fibers; and 3) segregating the one or more portions that contain resins and/or oils from the remainder of the plant fibers.
Claims6
A method for extracting resins and/or oils from a plant from the Humulus genus comprising:
- (a) tumbling together inside a container one or more tumblers and plant parts containing plant fibers,
- wherein the container has a temperature of less than or equal to 50° F. and an atmosphere that does not include elemental oxygen (O) or molecular oxygen (O2), and
- wherein the one or more tumblers are loose inside the container such that a tumbling motion of the one or more tumblers inside the container is random;
- (b) colliding the one or more tumblers with plant parts to separate one or more portions that contain resins and/or oils from the remainder of the plant fibers;
- and
- (c) segregating the one or more portions that contain resins and/or oils from the remainder of the plant fibers.
