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 an oil-bearing plant product;
producing an oil mixture from the at least a first phytochemical-bearing part of the phytochemical plant product and the oil-bearing plant product using a press device; and
extracting at least a chemical extract from the oil mixture.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oil-bearing plant product comprises at least an oil-bearing seed.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oil-bearing plant product further comprises at least an oil-bearing meal.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the press device further comprises an oil press device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the press device further comprises a rosin press device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein producing the oil mixture further comprises applying pressure to the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein producing the oil mixture further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product prior to insertion in the press device.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product after insertion in the press device.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product further comprises heating the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product to a target temperature.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the target temperature further comprises a temperature between 80° Fahrenheit and 350° Fahrenheit.
12. The method of claim 1 further comprising maintaining the at least a phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product at a target temperature while in the press device.
13. 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.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein separating further comprises separating using a sieve.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein separating further comprises grinding the at least a phytochemical bearing part to a coarse consistency.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phytochemical bearing part is fractionally distilled.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein producing the first mixture further comprises fractionally distilling the phytochemical bearing part.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein extracting further comprises adding the oil mixture to a centrifuge.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the centrifuge is maintained at a target temperature.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein extracting further comprises evaporating the oil mixture.
21. 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.
