Method of extracting one or more chemical extracts from a plant product
A method of extracting one or more chemical extracts from a plant product includes mixing at least a first phytochemical-bearing part of a phytochemical plant product with an oil-bearing plant product, producing an oil mixture from the first phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product using a press device, and extracting at least a chemical extract from the oil mixture.
1. A method of extracting one or more chemical extracts from a plant product, the method comprising:
passing at least a first phytochemical-bearing part of a phytochemical plant product through an ablative device;
mixing the at least a first phytochemical-bearing part of the phytochemical plant product with a carrier oil;
producing an oil mixture from the at least a first phytochemical-bearing part of the phytochemical plant product and the carrier oil using a press device;
evaporating, using an evaporation device, water from the oil mixture to produce at least a chemical extract from the oil mixture; and
extracting the at least a chemical extract from the oil mixture.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the press device further comprises an oil press device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the press device further comprises a rosin press device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein producing the oil mixture further comprises applying pressure to the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein producing the oil mixture further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil prior to insertion in the press device.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil after insertion in the press device.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil to a target temperature.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the target temperature further comprises a temperature between 80° Fahrenheit and 350° Fahrenheit.
10. The method of claim 1 further comprising maintaining the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the carrier oil at a target temperature while in the press device.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein producing the first mixture further comprises separating at least a phytochemical bearing part from one or more other portions of the phytochemical plant product.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein separating further comprises separating using a sieve.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein ablating further comprises grinding the at least a phytochemical bearing part to a coarse consistency.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phytochemical bearing part is fractionally distilled.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein producing the first mixture further comprises fractionally distilling the phytochemical bearing part.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein extracting further comprises adding the oil mixture to a centrifuge.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the centrifuge is maintained at a target temperature.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein extracting further comprises evaporating the oil mixture.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein passing the at least a phytochemical-bearing part of a phytochemical plant product through an ablative device comprises physically separating the at least a first phytochemical-bearing part of the phytochemical plant product from at least a portion of the phytochemical plant.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein separating further comprises separating using a sieve.
