Terra Tech Corp Expands Into CBD and Botanical Extraction
March 24 2014 - 7:00AM
Terra Tech Corp. (TRTC), through their medical cannabis subsidiary
GrowOp Technology Ltd, is pleased to announce they are developing a
research and industrial extraction facility focused on the medical
cannabis market. The facility will be located in Oakland, CA and is
being built in response to what the company views as an increase in
demand for high grade CBD as well as other botanical extracts. As a
first step the company has purchased a custom 20 liter 5,000 PSI
supercritical CO2 extractor from Eden Labs.
The extractor is designed for botanical and
nutraceutical extractions and will be utilized to extract CBD
in an effort to have complete control and consistency as they
continue to work with Inergetics in the creation of a CBD-based
nutritional supplement. This key piece of equipment
utilizes CO2 as a solvent, which is superior because it is
non-flammable and non-toxic mitigating negative environmental
impacts as well as several safety concerns that have been
associated with butane extraction. This process allows for
the selective extraction of compounds from a variety of botanicals,
which possess potent antioxidant as well as neuroprotectant
properties.
"Consumers are becoming more educated about
safety and quality as the legal medical cannabis market spreads
throughout the US," explains Derek Peterson, CEO of Terra Tech
Corp. "Patients deserve access to products that are both
effective and free from harmful residues. Our intention once
we complete our top of the line facility is to partner with a
permitted California based medical cannabis dispensary where we can
pair their expertise with our equipment and technology to
synthesize and create some amazing products."
Looking forward, Terra Tech Corp sees
significant shareholder value in researching various methods of
extraction as well as protecting those proprietary findings through
process patents. Terra Tech's recent investments in the
construction of a fully functional, industrial production and
research facility will be the company's first endeavor into
commercially sustainable botanical extraction. These product
lines are to include compound profiles and ratios, tailored to the
ever-expanding demands in the marketplace.
