The process of extracting a concentrated substance from plant material through the application of heat and pressure is a solventless method gaining popularity. This technique yields a product known for its potency and purity, appealing to individuals seeking alternatives to solvent-based extraction processes.
This method offers several advantages, including a simplified production process, reduced risks associated with flammable solvents, and the potential for a cleaner final product. Its historical context can be traced to early applications of similar pressure-based extraction methods in other industries, adapted for the specific purpose of concentrating plant-derived oils.
