Heptane and Methanol Extraction

What process of wax extraction will be done if heptane and methanol are used?

Please explain what you wich to know more in depth

It can go either way, an initial extraction can be made with methanol but if you go that route you need to extract the biomass cold enough that you dont pick up water soluble pigments along with the cannabinoids.

heptane would be a better method

Use heptane for initial extraction, removing sugars isn’t as easy as waxes. Then do methanol for winterization.

@Fhaye are you working on the same project as @bombaah?

Or are you trying to extract cannabinoids like the rest of the folks around here?

It puts the cannabis in the tube
It flows the solvent over the cannabis
It distills the solvent & is left with resin
It does it all again.
