Utoya Organics products are among the most trusted CBD oil options in Florida. It all starts with our CBD extraction process, where every decision impacts the quality of the final product.
What Is the Best Extraction Method for CBD Oil?
There are several CBD extraction methods, each with its pros and cons.
CO2 CBD Extraction
The most common full-spectrum CBD extraction method uses supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2). In this process, CO2 is compressed into a dense state, acting as a mixture of liquid and gas. It’s a popular choice for large-scale CBD extraction because it allows for quick processing of hemp trimmings and produces a safe, consumable end product. However, CO2 extraction is less gentle due to the extreme temperatures and pressures used, which can sometimes result in an unpleasant taste in the final product.
Butane CBD Extraction
Butane, a hazardous chemical, has been used for many years as a solvent for cannabis extraction. At room temperature, butane is a gas, but under pressure, it becomes a liquid. While effective, it is also highly flammable and dangerous.
The safest butane extraction systems use a closed-loop process, where liquid butane is poured over the cannabis to extract CBD and other compounds. The mixture is then carefully heated to evaporate the butane, leaving the extracted compounds behind. However, solvents like butane can introduce impurities that affect the taste of the final product.
Ethanol CBD Extraction
Ethanol extraction is similar to butane extraction, but instead of butane, ethanol is used as the solvent. Ethanol used for extraction is typically denatured, meaning it has additives that make it undrinkable. These additives can alter the flavor and safety of the extracted product, and ethanol sold in the U.S. often contains less than 50% ethanol due to these additives.
Organic Sugarcane Ethanol CBD Extraction
Use organic sugarcane ethanol for the extraction process. Similar to other solvent-based methods, organic sugarcane ethanol gently extracts cannabinoids from the hemp. However, since ethanol comes from organic sugarcane, it qualifies as an organic method under USDA guidelines.
Organic sugarcane alcohol is a high-proof solvent that enhances the natural flavor and sweetness of hemp flowers. This gentle process preserves the purity and full potential of the hemp, resulting in a high-quality, great-tasting CBD product.
