Abstract
A purified lipid-based solution including cannabinoids is manufactured by providing a lipid solution including an array of triglycerides, cannabinoids and water soluble contaminants. Adding water to the lipid solution to create a mixture and heating the mixture in a pressure vessel to a temperature above the melting point of the lipid solution. The mixture is agitated to dissolve the water soluble contaminants and electrocoagulated. The mixture is cooled to cause the triglycerides and cannabinoids to solidify. The water is separated from the mixture to remove water soluble contaminants, precipitated contaminants, suspended solids and colloids from the mixture to yield a purified lipid solution.
Claims10
A process for removing metallic contaminants from a cannabinoid containing coconut oil solution, consisting essentially of:
- a. extracting cannabis with coconut oil having an array of triglycerides to form a coconut oil solution having at least 10% cannabinoids, the coconut oil solution containing at least one heavy metal having a concentration of at least 20 parts per million, the at least one heavy metal having a specific gravity of 5.0 or greater;
- b. adding water and a highly charged polymeric metal hydroxide species to the coconut oil solution to create a mixture having a melting point and soluble contaminants;
- c. electrocoagulating the mixture, thus enabling an aliquot of the at least one heavy metal to coagulate and precipitate;
- d. heating the mixture to a temperature above the melting point of the mixture and agitating the mixture to dissolve the soluble contaminants;
- e. cooling the mixture to cause the triglycerides and cannabinoids to solidify;
- and
- f. separating the water from the mixture to yield a cannabinoid containing purified coconut oil solution.
