Finally! A Science base Decarboxylation of Cannabis!

[pop22]

LONG, LONG have I looked for this! NOW we can get closer to best decarb of our meds. And it boils down to this:
230F for 110 minutes! ( 110C for 110 minutes )

Now, we with most home methods, will still not get a perfect decarb, but this should bring us all cvloser to the best we can do! NOW we can kill all the decarb myths!

Here's the science, good luck understanding any more than I did......lol!

That hurt my brain thanks doe

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

nice find.
ohh head hurting stuff,but a good read for sure,cheers.
110 at 110 is a kinda handy to as my oven dont have F

 

[Micron Creek]

Excellent info. Thanks.

 

[wwwillie]

Some deep wading there, but lots of good info.
Thanks Pop!!

Graph says 98°C for 60 min?

I started wading through this, but my chemical and scientific faculties instantaneously started squirming, as in copious....... Calm down ladies, I don't really have any faculties, but they're still twisting..... Huh!

..... And "first order rate law", very nice to see this "confirmed", i.e. boiled down to simples, it's a linear time /temperature reaction.... So 110 at 110.... well, this optimal point is the most energy efficient combination of time and temperature, but not the only way to achieve the same conversion from THCA to THC.... Lower energy use means longer reaction time, higher energy use a shorter reaction time, but the end result is the same.....

I've been looking into the Sous-Vide method to decarb, and came across this awhile ago which includes a lab report that nicely compliments the findings in the study http://marijuanagrowershq.com/decarboxylation-marijuana-alchemy/

No, I still haven't invested in a sous vide thingamajig, those hydrophilic things are also repulsively wongaphilic, so unable to entertain any requests for personal experience just yet.... Lol

For those with faculties desiring to delve into the euphoric subject of decarboxylation, there's stuff like this and beyond for furthers...... http://www.organic-chemistry.org/synthesis/C1H/decarboxylations.shtm

may be an interesting way to do it. I'm skeptical of the lab results though. Then there is the consideration that as far as I know, these vacuum bags are not designed to be cooked in. heating them may be releasing unwanted toxins. A question to ask the maker of the bags I'd say. And $200 for a device to heat a small amount of water??? Sounds like a P.T.Barnum special............

I've been interested though in the actual temperature curve as its obviously not a linear progression. An idea I'm working on is using a pizza stone or other large piece of ceramic to decarb on. They tend to keep a more even temperature as the oven cycles on and off. Also a good way to discover the actual operating temp of your oven. heat the stone to desired temp and take a reading with an ifrared thermometer.

Well, what you say......I did learn learn during my sous vide peeping that like with everything else, if you want a machine that's accurate and consistent, you pay accordingly......It's no problem finding a 70 bucks machine, the reviews and product tests reflect the price. And yeah, those plastic bags are food grade......

What do mean by " its obviously not a linear progression"......are you referring to that lab report or the chemical reaction?

 

[pop22]

I'm referring to the curve of temperature to percentage of decarboxylation over time. In other words, a chart of time/temp to achieve full decarboxylation.
