Description
Bárbara Salinas Orellana and co-authors optimize phenolic extraction from a local Argentine cannabis strain's leaves in a 2026 study. Leaves are a by-product beside the prized flowers, and ultrasound extraction was tuned by response surface methods for solvent strength, ratio, power, and time. Energy use and carbon cost were measured alongside yield.
The tuned process reached high phenolic and flavonoid levels with strong antioxidant activity. Yield plateaued after a few minutes of sonication, longer than the model first suggested. Brine shrimp safety testing showed no significant toxicity at tested levels. Each batch used modest electricity, giving a low carbon cost per unit of antioxidant recovered. Cosmetic and food developers gain a circular use for farm residue. Scaling economics remain to be proven outside the bench.
