CBD Oil Production

Last updated: September 25, 2023

CBD Oil: What Is It?

CBD oil is made from a hemp plant, which has a low THC content. It is known for its CBD properties. The carrier oil for CBD can be made from hemp seeds, grape seeds, coconut (MCT), or any other plant-based oil.

To ensure optimal concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes in the raw hemp extract, a modern extraction method called supercritical CO2 extraction is used.

The extraction process also removes the psychoactive compound THC from the extract using industrial chromatography. This makes CBD oil pure, safe to use, and THC-free.

CBD Cultivation and Organic Farming

Manufacturers of high-quality CBD oil can use industrial hemp with lower CBD content or cultivate a protected strain rich in CBD outdoors.

Industrial hemp is classified when CBD ranges between 3-4%, while the THC content remains below 0.2%.

The manufacturer’s genetically developed hemp family can have significantly higher CBD concentrations of up to 20%.

An additional advantage is that the best CBD-yielding plant genotype is achieved through years of crossbreeding experiments (breeding) rather than artificial DNA modification.

The environmental characteristics of the cultivation location significantly influence the quality of the plant.

Warmer, mildly rainy climates are favorable for hemp fields. The plantation is cared for using organic farming methods, which ensures nutrient-rich soil and enhances the quality of the yield.

Production of Broad and Full Spectrum CBD Oil

CBD oils can be categorized as full or broad spectrum based on their composition. Full-spectrum CBD oil is directly extracted from the plant and does not undergo any further purification processes, resulting in a THC content below 0.2%.

This raw extract contains all the nonpolar (oily) components of hemp, including CBD, terpenes, phytocannabinoids, sterols, flavonoids, essential fatty acids, other lipids, and THC.

If the full spectrum extract is treated with a costly, proprietary industrial HPLC purification process, the THC content can be completely removed from the oil, resulting in THC-free hemp extract for distribution. This product is known as broad-spectrum CBD oil.

Making CBD Oil the American Way

CBD oil is made by the USA Medical company using patented technology to produce hemp oil products rich in phytocannabinoids (PCR). This method differs from the usual manufacturing process of full-spectrum oils.

The oil is extracted using a supercritical CO2 extraction method. The advantage of this process is that it operates at relatively low temperatures and high pressures, allowing for more efficient extraction of components from the plant, such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and fatty acids.

In other methods that involve higher temperatures, some of the larger, valuable molecules may break down by the end of the extraction process. It’s important to mention traditional oil extraction methods where solvents like hexane and THF (Tetrahydrofuran) are often used. Although the solvents are distilled from the extract at the end of the process, they can still remain as contaminants in the oil.

In contrast, modern supercritical CO2 extraction uses carbon dioxide as the solvent. As pressure is gradually reduced at the end of the process, the supercritical CO2 turns into a gas and leaves the extract, resulting in a completely solvent-free product.

The next step is to selectively remove the psychoactive THC from the obtained full-spectrum oil. The purification process is also unique and cost-effective, using industrial HPLC (High Performance/Pressure Liquid Chromatography).

The extracted CBD oil is passed through the device at high pressure, causing its components to separate. This allows for the selective removal of Delta 9-THC while reuniting and leaving the other synergistic components of the oil untouched.

The result is a THC-free hemp oil that is free from contaminants and rich in phytocannabinoids.

Throughout the hemp processing and chromatographic procedure, there is no thermal degradation, and the purified product has a CBD-rich essential profile, forming a THC-free, broad-spectrum oil together with valuable supplements.

CBD Oil Manufacturers and Quality Assurance

The major manufacturers adhere to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards by regularly taking samples and analyzing them from every batch of the production process. This ensures the proper composition and efficiency of the procedures.

The finished products undergo additional quality control tests, and a quality certificate is prepared. Independent laboratories perform the required analytical tests specified by the standards.

This multi-point quality assurance system guarantees the purity and quality of CBD oil available.

The Production of CBD Oil in Laboratory-Grade Conditions

The intermediate control during production takes place in their own laboratory, and a third-party independent laboratory verifies the quality of the final products. Our American CBD manufacturer has access to the most technologically advanced equipment in the industry, allowing them to monitor every phase of the production process from seed to sale.

They have assembled a wide range of expert committees, including leading farmers, scientists, engineers, chemists, veterinarians, pharmacists, and lawyers, to ensure that their processes are world-class and their products are of the highest quality.

Summary of CBD Oil Production

The high CBD and terpene content, THC absence, and optimal plant genetics enable the production of excellent-quality extracts. There are no external additives, no detectable solvent residues, and THC is completely removed.

The range of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids remains diverse as they are not lost during the process.

The heavy metal and pesticide content meet the strictest regulations. The hemp they grow naturally synthesizes cannabinoids and dozens of terpenes, which are then extracted and purified using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the essential components for extracts and finished products.
