CANAUOS, a major player in CBD in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, has invested in a state-of-the-art supercritical CO2 extraction machine. This new machine should transform the way aromatic and medicinal plants such as hemp are processed, in particular by producing CBD extracts free of toxic substances and pollutants.
With demand for CBD products on the rise, CANAUOS is stepping forward to ensure its customers have access to the highest quality products. The supercritical CO2 extraction method is a natural way to extract CBD from plants, as it uses carbon dioxide in a liquid state to extract cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds from plant material.
Unlike other extraction methods, such as solvent extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction produces a pure and potent extract that is free from harmful chemicals and toxins, and full-spectrum, obviously without the addition of isolate, to promote the entourage effect in the product. It also makes it possible to capture terpenes, the aromatic molecules of plants, to benefit from all their advantages.
The new machine, which has been custom calibrated to meet CANAUOS’ specific needs, will enable the company to produce the highest quality CBD extracts. Where it already provides quality products to its customers, it will now be able to have full traceability from seed to finished product. Besides, the machine is able to extract a wide range of aromatic and medicinal plants, which will allow CANAUOS to expand its range to other herbal products in the future.
The CO2 extraction machine
“We are delighted to invest in this cutting-edge technology which will allow us to produce the highest quality CBD extracts,” said Severine Malhière, founder of CANAUOS. “Our customers trust us to provide them with safe and effective products, and this investment reflects our commitment to delivering on that promise. »
The new machine will be registered under the GMP label and will be able to supply products that meet pharmaceutical standards. It will also help CANAUOS achieve its sustainability goals. Supercritical CO2 extraction is an environmentally friendly method that produces little to no waste and does not require the use of harmful chemicals. This method is in line with CANAUOS’ commitment to produce environmentally friendly and sustainable products and goes hand in hand with its organic and Ecocert-certified cultivation methods.
“We are committed to sustainable development and the new supercritical CO2 extraction machine demonstrates this commitment,” said the manager. “We are delighted to be able to manufacture high quality CBD products while being aware of our impact on the environment. »
CANAUOS’ investment in the supercritical CO2 extraction machine is an important step, for it, but also for the region, which will now be able to benefit from local CBD extractions.
