Just picked up two liters of quality d Limonene from the well head for experimentation, after that entry won a prize.
I went straight to Lebermuth Co for premier quality d Limonene with certifications, and then talked to Horatio, the Canadian brother who extracted the oil and submitted the entry, to determine how he did it.
He gave the following advice:
Vacuum distill the Limonene first to get the heavier elements out first, same as butane. The heavier elements are too hard to get out later and leave a strong taste.
Winterize with Ethanol.
Use a Rotovape and dry ice cold trap to remove the Limonene and alcohol under vacuum at low temperatures.
Wash the remaining Limonene out as an azeotrope using water washes and cold boiling under vacuum.
By cold boiling, he was able to maintain his entry in carboxylic acid shatter form and the Limonene measured no higher than the rest of the terpenes.
Though all monoterpenes were low by BHO standards, the judges reported that it was pleasant tasting, smooth, and effective. Enough to give it first place in connoisseurs class.
Certainly sounded worth looking at. Hee, hee, hee..............
Yes indeed!
I am very interested in this! Please keep us posted Gray Wolf!!!
I don't own a rotovape(yet!)
Although it's not necessary for this process, it would be necessary for me to have all the right tools before I attempt this
I would love to sample this extract, can't wait for this to become more common
