Has anyone been able to prevent the purple oxidation that forms from using triiso to convert CBD into D9? It seems to happen within hours of coming in contact with air and you can slow it down but not prevent it.
I got the water washing down pretty good and it distills colorless in the flask but it seems the higher the % of D9, the more it oxidizes.
I am absolutely willing to pay for a consultant who can prove they’ve solved this issue or respond here!
That seems to help slow down the oxidation but has anyone found anything to prevent it? If you took a nicely packaged syringe of the oil and squirted it on a plate, it’ll still oxidize pretty deep purple.
Not really. Converted D9 will feature this quality, even when you do everything right AFAIK. Even mechanically separated THCA can oxidize quickly when decarbed.
as @silverstudent mentioned, quinones are everyone’s best bet. (check the thread above, they discuss them a bit)
Preventing oxidation through precise control of your atmosphere is the best way at the moment. Argon works best.
