  • Decarboxylation process
    Patent number: 10676453
    Abstract: A process to decarboxylate THCA in cannabis material while minimizing the thermal decomposition of THC and the loss of volatile components such as terpenoids consists of four steps. Prepared cannabis material is first heated to about 105° C. for 20 min. to complete the dehydration of the material. The processing temperature is then increased to about 110° C. for about 30 min. to start the decarboxylation process. Thereafter, the temperature is increased to about 115° C. for about 35 min. Finally, the temperature is increased by about 2.5° C. (but not exceeding 118° C.) for about an additional 15 min. to complete the decarboxylation.
