Abstract: The present invention relates to a three-phase methodology to obtain a highly concentrated, purified chemical component from plant material in an industrial setting. The three phases of the methodology of the present invention include Phase 1: Preparing and solubilization, Phase 2: Separation and Salting and Phase 3: crystallization. The methodology results in dried composition purified from a plant material having at least 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% of the chemical component by weight.
