WHAT IS DECARBOXYLATION?

In its natural state, canna/hemp has a carboxyl group COOH. In this form, the desired compounds within the flower remain an acid and aren't utilizable by the body. To activate the compound for product use, that carboxyl group needs to be removed (which is where the name of process is derived). The two things needed to remove it are heat and time. Heating the material at a lower temperature over time (potentially under vacuum) allows processors to decarboxylate material without losing other desirable compounds. From an industrial processing perspective, the right decarboxylation solution is a critical step for creating excellent products.
