Intro to the B.E.S.T. Extraction Process for Your Business
1m
An introduction to choosing the B.E.S.T. extraction process for your business.
What is the Best Concentration Process for Natural Products
5m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay provides an overview of the B.E.S.T. concentration processes for natural products. This breakdown includes maintaining the integrity of botanical materials, effective concentration with efficacy, efficiency, and economics, safety and health for everyone throughout the process. He also covers testing with modern technology advances in every facet.
Key Compounds in Cannabis
5m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay discusses the key compounds in cannabis. This includes the amount of cannabinoids dependent on the variety and quality of raw material, as well as how sample preparation is key to the extraction and quality of results. Finally, how the instrument conditions affect the yield, quality, and components is discussed.
Stick to the processes! There will be challenges!
3m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay discusses sticking to the best concentration process for natural products, as well as the synergistic merging of science and economics for the extraction of cannabis products. Finally, he talks about how the challenges with cannabis extraction are often overlooked and underestimated, including a discussion about Sutton's Law and banking protocol.
Trichomes, it’s where the cannabinoids concentrate!
2m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay describes the three main types of trichomes in the cannabis plant. He begins with bulbous trichomes as the smallest of the three types being found across the base of the plant. Next, you will learn about capitate-sessile trichomes as the next largest group, and why it is significantly more abundant. Finally, capitate-stalked trichomes are formed after the flowering stage, and where most cannabinoids are commonly found.
How do the cannabinoids get into the capitate stalk?
2m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay talks about how cannabinoids get into the capitate stalk, as well as the importance of understanding how biosynthesis provides secrets to biopharma technology. Finally, piecing the capitate-stalked glands for finding where cannabinoids are synthesized and stored in cannabis are discussed.
Extraction vs. Separation
3m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay describes the concentration techniques of extraction and separation and their applications in the cannabis industry. This includes a detailed review of separation as a mechanical process without solvent, as well as the process of extraction with a solvent. Further concepts discussed include maceration and grinding, chromatography, filtration, and the representative solvents commonly used in extraction.
Key Parameters to Extraction Process Control & Optimization
4m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay talks about the key parameters of process control and optimization. This includes the critical parameters of C02 for process control such as thermodynamics, pressure, temperature, mass transfer, and flow rate. Finally, the conditions of maximizing productivity and profitability are discussed.
General Extraction Process From a Single Molecule
5m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay examines the generalized extraction process from a single cell with different concentrations and conditions. Next, the generalized extraction process inside a vessel is discussed. This includes the solubilization of compounds to be extracted, and the rate of transport for the extracted compounds.
Partition Coefficient and log P
4m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay discusses cannabis extraction for the Partition Coefficient and Log P. Dr. MacKay performs an extraction experiment for Partition Coefficient and Log P. This experiment highlights the solubility of various solvents, as well as the non-polar properties of cannabinoids.
Three Major Extraction Kinetics
3m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay talks about three major extraction kinetics, which are mechanically dominant, pressure dominant, and solubility dominant. Next, he discusses the process of how we move into a cell, and how the solvent moves in and binds the "A and B" cell wall before it then moves outside. Finally, Dr. MacKay shares an analogy of a dog to describe the process.
Separation is Mechanical
6m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay describes the advances in separation, extraction, and concentration techniques and their applications in the cannabis industry. This includes a detailed review of separation as a mechanical process without solvent, as well as the concepts of maceration and grinding, parts of chromatography, and filtration.

Three Key Factors to Consider in Choosing Concentration Technology
4m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay discusses key factors to consider in choosing concentration technology. First, he examines the speed and cycle time of the concentration process. Next, he examines scale and the ability to start small and then grow the entire concentration process. Finally, he discusses selectivity and influencing the order of elution in the entire concentration process.
Why Few Large-Scale Facilities for Cannabis?
6m
In this video segment, Dr. MacKay talks about why few large facilities exist for cannabis. This discussion includes economies of scale, large-scale system limitations with the variety of plants, formulation-centric starting materials and equipment size, as well as the regulation of solvents and processes that are allowed. Finally, site sophistication and protocol within state regulations are discussed.
