De-fatting

[Hyperslap Fractald my Ego]

De-fatting: I am working with my first batch of de-fatt full spectrum using both the ATB method and STB and I use xylene as my non polar solvent any one else bother with de-fatting ?
I assumed having de-fatted I’d have cleaner layers without so much interface . That was not the case and I was curious if adding a dash of lye would make it cleaner?

more detail in your post might be helpful, like what plant matter you are using . some plants might need a defat others might not . what part of process do you think needs to be cleaner ,
are you having issues with emultions ,?

proper defatting/decontamination is often more difficult than the extraction itself depending on the plant, could you provide as many details as possible

Oh heck yeah sure I didn’t realize y’all were on this so quick thanks. I appreciate it. Mimosa hostiles bark. Powder.

My acid to base method for full spectrum is steep in water on the stove under 150 f for an hour with lemon juice and a touch of vinegar.

Let chill oot and strain.
Repeat 2 more times.

Take the bark and move it into a bark powder whatever and move it into a separate jar or actually my case a vat.

Next ad either xylene or Naptha wait for the fat Homies bubble up top and discard

With Naptha I put my acid water on the stirr plate and add the NAPTA and let it mix a bit and then stop and decant off the top.

And then add the base and xylene

Put on some good electro and slowly rave with it to roll it and mix it properly without emulsifying

Put my intention in it one last time
And then do my pull.

The reason why I do this is because I think I’m sensitive to solvent to the point where the fats are trapping some of the solvent in or maybe it’s the fats or the other things that I’m getting that’s giving me that head tightness and that just uncomfortable kind of an anxious feeling not even anxious, but just body tense just head bringing kind of feeling and I don’t dig that I like that full spectrum my body feels better now

And I was wondering what anybody else had experience with this what their thoughts were and yeah

Also Acacia confusa I hear it differs very much from mimosa hostels would defat so if anybody has any tips on that, I would appreciate it cause my next order Acacia confusa
