Optimal CBC extraction techniques: principles, process and selection of plant material
We're in for a treat today! Here's a little something for plant enthusiasts, natural product experts, and anyone with a soft spot for new health and wellness developments. We're going to talk about cannabichromene, this charming little molecule that works wonders. Extraction techniques, choice of plants, health applications... A whole range of information to expand your knowledge. So, are you ready to climb the ladder of knowledge? Come on, let's go!
You have never heard of cannabichromene ? Of course, this is not a Hollywood celebrity lost in the world of chemistry. The cannabichromene (CBC) is a chemical compound from our beloved cannabis plant. Its chemical structure is found in the shadow of the cannabinoid family, between a bottle of hydrogen and a bottle of carbon, all while rejoicing with its number of chemical bonds. And naturally, it is foreign to the cannabis effect that everyone hastily attributes to its family. The decline of science, my friends, sometimes throws a chill!
Now, if we compare it to its famous cousin, the CBD (cannabidiol) who strutted around on TV sets, boasting about his physical and mental health benefits , one might wonder why the CBC remained behind the scenes. The latter actually decided to play a supporting role, without lacking substance. His "role" differs from the CBD and its Hollywood "performances". Unlike THC, it has no psychotropic effects. Isn't that ironic? A cannabinoid without psychoactive effects is a bit like a joke without a punchline. This chapter on cannabinoids definitely deserves to be explored further, but without tipping over, dear readers.
THE The process of extracting cannabichromene , also known as CBC, could easily be mistaken for a Gordon Ramsay-worthy cooking recipe. Except, of course, we're not exactly talking about sautéing shrimp in olive oil with a pinch of garlic. We're talking about manipulating careful and delicate of cannabis plants, with all the quality controls necessary to ensure that the final product is healthier than the organic bread from your local grocer. First, the cannabis plant is harvested, dried, and ground. Think of this step like harvesting coffee beans, minus the caffeine and minus your horny baker. Next, the ground plant is exposed to a specific solvent, usually ethanol, which gracefully transforms the trichomes into a brewed cake, much like a breakfast tea brew . And, because this world is amazing, did you know that CBC extraction is actually a by-product of THC and CBD extraction? It's a bit like cracking the nuts to get the fruit, but you end up with a delicious nut pie as a bonus. Okay, the cooking analogy may be a bit of a stretch, but let's face it, CBC is well worth a slice of this delicious cake .
Sure, it is possible to produce CBC from a pencil and bleach, but let's stick to conventional methods! According to a study in the fabulously exciting Journal of Natural Products (2019), a new process for extracting cannabichromene from different cannabis strains has emerged. It's like discovering a brand new ace up his sleeve when we thought we had stupidly lost everything at belote. Open your eyes wide, here are the wildest plant varieties for this exquisite extraction:
Well, who would have thought? It seems that the escalation towards the demystification of cannabichromene (CBC) has no summit in sight. Long overlooked and confined to the shadow of its famous cousin cannabidiol (CBD), the CBC appears to have impressive therapeutic properties for pain and anxiety management. It seems that we have found a worthy rival to CBD. According to some clinical studies conducted by researchers with glasses, the use of CBC has shown a significant reduction in acute and chronic pain in the treated subjects. On the other hand, marked reductions in anxiety have also been observed, causing an air of relief to be drawn on the faces of the guinea pigs. Oh, and let's not forget to mention the discreet effect of CBC on improving concentration and memory , beneficial effects similar to those of its elder, CBD.
No need to look any further, CBC should definitely find a place in your first aid kit. In addition to calming your nagging pains and anxiety states, the CBC also shows promising effects on sleep quality and inflammation management . Time to put away those bottles of sleeping pills and anti-inflammatories. Excited researchers observed remarkable improvements in their subjects’ sleep, with fewer unwelcome nighttime movements and deeper sleep. At the same time, CBC showed significant anti-inflammatory abilities, reducing inflammation dramatically, much to the dismay of drug manufacturers. Well, that’s a nice surprise for our nervous and immune systems, isn’t it?
