A software application designed for estimating the theoretical yield of a cannabis extraction, this tool uses input data such as the starting material’s potency and weight, along with the extraction efficiency, to predict the final extract’s weight and cannabinoid concentration. For example, entering 10 grams of starting material with 20% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and assuming a 70% extraction efficiency might yield a prediction of 1.4 grams of extract containing approximately 28.5% THC.
Such predictive tools are valuable for optimizing extraction processes, allowing extractors to adjust parameters for maximizing yield and potency. By providing a pre-extraction estimate, these applications can contribute to resource efficiency and informed decision-making within cannabis processing. Their development reflects the growing sophistication and standardization of cannabis extraction techniques as the industry matures.
