POST EXTRACTION PURIFICATION OF TERPENES

A method of purifying cannabis derived terpenes includes first providing cannabis material having a detectable amount of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), adding a solvent to the cannabis material, spinning the cannabis material in a centrifuge to separate crystallized THCA from a high terpene extract. Decarboxilating the THCA with heat to yield tetrahydrocannabinol. The high terpene extract is deposited into a vacuum oven to reduce pressure and volatilize terpenes from the high terpene extract. Next the terpenes are pumped into a cold trap to condense terpenes from the high terpene extract. Next, the condensed terpenes are cooled at a temperature between −50° C. and 0° C. to remove water from the condensed terpenes and yield purified terpenes. The purified terpenes are applied to an edible food product containing decarboxylated tetrahydrocannabinol. In an alternate embodiment, the tetrahydrocannabinol and the purified terpenes are combined or recombined and mixed directly into a precooked edible food product.
