Cannabinoid and Mushroom Extraction Certification Course
NEXT STOP: Dallas, Texas - April 2nd, 2022
The ONLY Cannabinoid and Mushroom Extraction Certification Available
Are you interested in extracting and infusing cannabis ingredients at home? Then this session is essential to attend. From grams to thousands of kilograms per day, the principles are the same for extraction. Dr. MacKay has the kitchen-sized products he uses during the class. Products that have gone through the certifications to be used in your kitchen.
When to use ethanol? When to use CO2? How can you decarboxylate? Tools you can use to know when your process is completed. He has the instruments for extraction, decarboxylation, infusion, and testing for your use during the class. Some of the manufacturers have provided discounts on the products that Dr. MacKay can pass on to you. Dr. MacKay is not good at monetizing from them, so he passes on all the discounts to you directly.
The course covers conventional processes currently used in cannabis and mushroom extraction. The
theory of concentration of natural products is based on Formulation Centric Theory.
From the 1980s to 2014, used basic extraction principles. From 2015 to 2021, more technology has been
available. The process is and productivity has increased significantly over the past two years. In the next
two years, it will double. The newer technology includes hyphenated technology, including microwave-
assisted, acoustic-assisted, pulse-field energy, in rapid decompression. The use of multiple solvents in
multiple ways of solventless extraction has increased.
The differences in similarities of cannabis and mushrooms are like popping a balloon versus blowing up
the walls of a castle. The course explores how to increase the extraction of compounds in plant matter.
