Ethanol Extraction
A method of extracting cannabinoids from hemp using food-grade ethyl alcohol as a solvent. Ethanol is a highly efficient broad-spectrum solvent that pulls cannabinoids, terpenes, chlorophyll, and waxes from plant material. The resulting crude extract is further refined to remove unwanted compounds. Ethanol extraction is widely used for producing full-spectrum oils, tinctures, and distillate due to its scalability and regulatory familiarity.
