Hello, I have distillate that contains gums and am looking for a consultant that can help me with degumming. Looking to hire ASAP.
I could do a phone consultation but if I were you I’d spring for breaking dabs over me lol
Are you trying to learn how to do heptane washes or is this foreign matter in your material?
Use carbon chems degumming enzyme, 1 gram for every liter. I mix it in before I winterize so I dont have to winterize twice
I have gums in a small batch 30kg of distillate. Not a consistant problem just need a fix for this batch. Thank you @Kingofthekush420 for this. Is this a full elimination of gums or will it just reduce them?
What are you experiencing
As long as you use enough enzymes and dont over heat them then you’ll remove all the gums. You break them down into something that’s removed with winterization. If you dont winterize you wont remove them.
Cam you use the degumming clay that carbon chemistry makes in the same application as the enzymes
You can but theres no need to. The clay can cause isomerization issues though because its acidic
Aww ok so the enzymes are a better option for degumming since they are not acidic
You can use acid to degum you just have to neutralize it and so to me that’s alot more work then just using the enzymes lol
Yea that makes complete sense to me brotha man
It is a solid distillate that is very cloudy, this is not crystallization. The strange thing is that the material isolated without a gummy layer stuck to the crystals. The manufacturer of the crude is claiming it is not gums but rather something that appears to be gums.
Cloudiness is usually a sign of not fully winterizing, are you sure it was winterized correctly?
Pictures would be more clerical
Im very familiar with distillation and this is not fats although I understand your thinking just hearing that it is cloudy, this material solidified as soon as it cooled and has that gummy texture. Tested at 75% CBD crude was 47%. I will attach photos later today. Thanks for the input guys
was there ac used at any point, by them or by you? acid activated AC by chance?
Could it be some sort of cut or something foreign?
I’ve never had cbd at room temp solidify unless theres a ton of thc
