THE CRYOEXS ADVANTAGE: INDUSTRIAL EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY FOR CANNABIS
DATE: JUNE 24, 2020 This comprehensive article published by Health Europa, explore the science behind Root Sciences’ new line of CryoEXS cold ethanol extraction systems. Learn why these machines are the clear choice for businesses seeking to maximize profit and minimize downtime during the extraction process. CryoEXS’ streamlined design reduces facility requirements, and its automation features and clean-in-place procedures minimize downtime for processors. These advantages allow for efficiency, consistency, and increased profit potential. “CryoEXS’s cold ethanol extraction technology enables processors to skip the winterization steps which added days to the total processing time of traditional methodologies. By maintaining a temperature below -40°C whenever the biomass is in contact with the solvent, fats, waxes, and lipids are rendered insoluble and remain in the plant material after extraction. Cannabinoids remain particularly soluble in the 190-proof ethyl alcohol; and the extraction process itself is complete in a matter of minutes.” Read the full article.

The Benefits of Nano-Emulsified Cannabinoids
DATE: FEBRUARY 28, 2020
Edibles Magazine writes on how nano-cannabinoid edibles are superior to traditional edibles in a number of areas: (1) it’s much easier to incorporate nanoemulsions in the formulation of edibles (2) nanoemulsions have a higher degree of bioavailability with a greater therapeutic effect (3) the human body absorbs active ingredients faster and more predictably (4) just a fraction of the established dosing is required in manufacturing edibles when using nanoemulsions (5) Nano-emulsified cannabinoids greatly improve the homogeneity of cannabinoids of each edibles batch produced.. meaning that cannabinoids are evenly dispersed across the entire edible, and not just as a coating on top of the surface.

Root Sciences Driving the “Next Big Thing” in Edibles: Nano-Emulsified Cannabinoids
DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 2019
Just as Root Sciences’ wiped film molecular distillation technology changed the way edibles were manufactured back in 2016, they are once again disrupting the industry, working to launch the next revolutionary technology in edibles: cannabinoid nano-emulsification. Due to the proprietary encapsulation and micronization technologies at the heart of nano-emulsification bioavailability of the active ingredients, cannabinoids, increases. Depending on the type of infused product, the bioavailability of traditional formulations can be as low as 4%, but by taking advantage of nano-emulsion technology, infused products can achieve a bioavailability as high as 90%. This means that onset time is measured in minutes, not hours, and the same dosage will produce a more pronounced effect. The enhanced bioavailability of Root Sciences nano-emulsions is a direct result of the proprietary blend of surfactants and the extraordinarily small average particle size achieved through their process.

HOW ONE COMPANY IS CAPITALIZING ON CANNABIS DISTILLATES’ SURGING POPULARITY
DATE: MAY 21, 2018
Benzinga reached out to Root Sciences, the largest cannabis distillery equipment maker in the United States and the producer of the Short Path Distillation system, which is used to make distillates containing tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol and other cannabinoids... The company’s equipment “rapidly puts the cannabis oil in its final stage,” with THC potency in the upper 90s percentage range and no impurities, CEO Nenad Yashruti told Benzinga. In a 2016 interview with Dope Magazine, Yashruti said that for medical patients to recreational consumers, "concentrates of this purity, potency and consistency will be the cornerstone of future cannabis consumption." Interestingly enough, this statement remains valid to date. “When we brought them out here [to our facility], they were impressed with the technology that we were using in all parts of cannabis,” Yashruti said. “They awarded us an exclusive distribution contract in North America for two years.” The relationship exceeded expectations in just under six months, he said. “We had so much success and became very close with a manufacturer that they extended the contract for a decade long and make it global. We are now the global exclusive distributor for VTA and the cannabis industry when it comes to purification plants.”

UNDERSTANDING CANNABIS DISTILLATES AND CONCENTRATES
DATE: MAY 4, 2018
Cannabis distillates are the highly potent, odorless products that activate immediately after use. While distillation may be on the rise in the cannabis sector, it has long been a process trusted by other industries – most notably alcohol. "With a high market demand for cannabis distillates and a relatively straightforward process, it should come as no surprise that businesses are flocking to the sector. The company leading the trend is Root Sciences, the largest and most successful commercial-scale short-path distiller for the cannabis industry. Its system refines cannabis and hemp concentrates into distillates for infusion into a range of products from edibles to oils to vape cartridges. Root Sciences touts its own wiped film process that uses molecular separation or short path distillation to separate the product down to just its cannabinoids. Working at lower temperatures and with a rate of 1500 mph (milliliters per hour), Root Sciences creates potent distillates that also preserve the product’s golden color."

THC DISTILLATE FACTS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!
DATE: JUNE 29, 2017
By introducing Root Sciences' short path distillation process, we can now distill cannabinoids at very low temperatures. Not only is distilled THC a very clean and pure extract, but you can also use it in almost any method you like, making it an extremely versatile medicine. Using a “Short Path Distillation” process that is new to the marijuana field. Due to cannabis’ requiring a very high boiling point for its cannabinoids to vaporize, a short path distillation process with a high power vacuum was designed to distill at a lower temperature. By introducing Root Sciences short path distillation process, we can now distill cannabinoids at very low temperatures. VTA’s distillation process equipment has a very low “residence time,” the amount of heat a substance is exposed to while being evaporated. The more powerful a vacuum, the lower the temperature is required to vaporize any substance.

CANNABINOID DISTILLATES IN THE CANNABIS MARKET
DATE: JUNE 26, 2016
The distillate reputation precedes itself. The distilled total cannabinoid potency can go above 99%. Most hydrocarbon or CO2-extracted concentrates range between 65% and 80%. Molecular distillation is the future. “The applications for distillates in the cannabis and hemp markets are literally endless,” said Nenad Yashruti, co-founder of Root Sciences. “From the medical patient to the recreational consumer, concentrates of this purity, potency, and consistency will be the cornerstone of future cannabis consumption.” The term that describes its production is “short path distillation. Root Sciences is the exclusive North American distributor for VTA in the cannabis industry." VTA, a German company, is the leading global manufacturer of distillation equipment. They contracted Root Sciences because of their vast knowledge of molecular separation, specifically with cannabis. Very few companies have that type of expertise due to the global restrictions in processing THC. Until now, few have bridged the gap between cannabis and distillation.

TECH THURSDAY: UNVEILING THE FUTURE
DATE: FEBRUARY 02, 2016
By using the wiped film short path distillation process that Root Sciences is making, one can distill the cannabinoids at temperatures well below their atmospheric boiling point. Few manufacturing systems are able to achieve this process. Certain companies market themselves as “short path distillation,” yet they are unable to achieve high levels of vacuum and their heat systems are not designed to process a substance as unique as cannabinoids. The distillate reputation precedes itself. The distilled total cannabinoid potency can go above 99%. Most hydrocarbon or CO2-extracted concentrates range between 65% and 80%. As the cannabis and hemp markets mature, the technology Root Sciences represents could become the standard process for all CBD and THC concentrates.... Cannabinoids’ high boiling point results in a very high viscosity, or thickness. The system must be designed to cope with a very viscous substance (honey, for example), or cannabinoids in their purest form. In their purest forms, CBD is crystallized, but THC is a very thick substance. It must be handled and processed with care and skill to refine efficiently. VTA is Root Sciences’ company of choice: a uniquely qualified manufacturing system that can refine cannabis oil properly.
