Kannabinoidlarning ultratovushli dekarboksillanishi
Decarboxylated cannabinoids such as CBD, THC and CBG amongst many others are known as the active form, which shows more impactful and successful effects in the human body (i.e. endocannbinoid system). Ultrasonication is a highly effective technique to extract an decarboxylate cannabinoids (e.g., CBDA, THCA, CBGA) into their biologically more active forms (e.g., CBD, THC, CBG).
Decarboxylate Cannabinoids with Sonication
CBD is well known for its health-promoting and medicinal effects. But in both types of the cannabis plant, in hemp and marijuana, mainly cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) is found, whilst cannabidiol (CBD) is only present in small quantities.
What is the difference between CBD and CBDA?
CBDA is the precursor of CBD and has an acidic group attached to the CBD molecule, a so-called carboxyl-group. Both, CBD and CBDA, are non-intoxicating, non-psycho-active substances, which means they do not produce a “high” effect. But the bioactive effects of CBD and CBDA are very different. CBDA is a neutral, significantly less active form, whilst – when decarboxylated to CBD – the CBD molecules enfold their full health-promoting bioactive effects as pharmaceutical and dietary supplement.
The decarboxylation affects all other acidic cannabinoid forms such as THCA, CBGA and others as well. The carboxyl group is removed so that the active forms, e.g., CBD, ∆⁹-THC (THC), CBG etc., are obtained.
Ultrasonic decarboxylation turns the less active form into the more active cannabinoid form by removing the carboxyl group via intense ultrasound waves.
Ultrasonic Cannabinoid Decarboxylation
Decarboxylation (decarbing) is a common step in cannabis processing. In the conventional decarbing process, producers apply dry heat to the fresh plant parts in order to convert CBDA into CBD, ∆9-THC-acid (THCA) into ∆9-THC (THC), CBGA into CBG etc. This is an additional pre-processing step before the extraction and requires time and energy.
Ultrasonic decarboxylation excels conventional decarboxylation by various advantages. First, ultrasonic decarboxylation is not an additional process step, but it occurs simultaneously when cannabinoids are extracted via ultrasonication from hemp or marijuana. Ultrasonic cannabis treatment is the superior method for simultaneous extraction and decarboxylation of phytocannabinoids. The ultrasonic technique excels by high extraction and decarboxylation rates under controlled temperatures and short treatment times. This prevents the phytocannabinnoids against decomposition: In ultrasonically decarboxylated cannabinoid extracts, no cannbinol (CBN) is found. cannabinol is a common oxidation by-product and thereby marker of quality. This means ultrasonic decarbing results in a high-quality cannabis extract.
Furthermore, all ultrasonically obtained extraction and decarboxylation results are fully repeatable and reproducible. As all ultrasonic process parameters are precisely controllable, extraction and decarboxylation results can be reproduced with reliability. This enables producers to standardize their process and to offer their customers cannabis extracts of continuously highest quality.

How to Decarb Cannabinoids by Sonication
Sonication can transform the acidic cannabinoids such as CBDA, ∆9-THC-acid / TCA, CBGA etc. into the bioactive forms of CBD, ∆9-THC, CBG etc. To obtain a decarboxylation via ultrasonication, the ultrasound treatment is combined with heat treatment. This is known as thermo-sonication. Optimum yields of CBD, ∆9-THC, and CBG are obtained at 110°C.
Cannabinoids and their Effects on the Human Body
The Cannabis Sativa L. plant is rich in more than 113 types of cannabinoids. For instance, CBD, CBDA, THC, THCA, CBG and CBGA amongst others are all cannabinoids (also called phytocannabinoids) found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids are also found in the human body, where they function as signalling molecules in the endocrine system. Cannabinoids produced by the human body are known as endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids act as neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors. The biological system of endocannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors is called endocannabinnoid system and plays an important part in the regulation of bodily functions.
As plant-derived cannabinoids can dock to the human cannabinoid receptors, cannabinoids are administered as medical/medicinal treatment and as health-promoting dietary supplements.

Why Decarboxylate Cannabinoids?
Decarboxylation is a chemical process during which a chemical chain known as carboxyl group is removed from a molecule. In the cannabis plant, the majority of cannabinoids are present in their acidic form such as CBDA, THCA, CBGA etc. The acidic forms have a carboxyl group attached and are know as less active form. Those acidic forms are the precursors to the more active cannabinoid forms (e.g. CBD, ∆⁹-THC, CBG etc.). For pharmaceuticals, medicinal and health supplements, the decarboxylated, more active form of cannabinoids is for obvious reasons preferred.
Therefore, the acidic carboxyl group is removed from the cannabinoids in a process called “decarboxylation”.
For instance, cannabis can be decarboxylated (colloquially also “decarbed”) by applying dry heat. Decarboxylation also occurs when cannabis is left to cure. During the curing, the carboxyl chain slowly breaks down, which is a quite time-consuming process. When this happens, CBDA and other acidic cannabinoids lose their acidity. thereby becoming more active. Decarboxylation can be accelerated by other processes, like thermo-sonication.
How much Cannabinoids are in my Cannabis Extract?
The concentration of cannabinoids in an extract depends heavily on the type of plant (cannabis strain), the extraction method and whether or not the plant has been decarboxylated.
