Soxhlet Lions Mane Mushroom Extraction and Vacuum Reduction Rig


Summary

The video showcases a detailed mushroom extraction setup involving sock extractors to obtain a 4 L extract, and discusses creating ingredients for gummies. By heating the extract to 60 degrees Celsius, a more concentrated form is achieved. The use of a penguin chiller, iceco equipment, and vacuum for lowering boiling points are highlighted for an efficient extraction process. Viewers are informed about the method of collecting beta glucans for a product that doesn't require refrigeration and alternatives for a more potent concentrate with less liquid.


Mushroom Extraction Setup

The speaker explains their mushroom extraction setup involving sock extractors, filling them with mushrooms, and obtaining about 4 L of extract.

Making Gummies Ingredients

The speaker discusses making ingredients for gummies and aiming to make the extract more concentrated by heating it up to 60 degrees Celsius in a water bath with SV.

Boiling Point Reduction

The speaker mentions pulling a vacuum to lower the boiling point to around 130 degrees Celsius, allowing the liquid to boil without being too hot to the touch.

Penguin Chiller

The speaker describes the penguin chiller, a converted air conditioner with coils that help in cooling the water, capturing excess liquid in a cold trap.

Concentrate Preparation

The speaker talks about collecting beta glucans and creating a concentrated product without alcohol, which needs to be refrigerated if stored for an extended period.

Equipment Description

The speaker provides details about the iceco equipment used in the setup, mentioning its efficiency and purpose in the extraction process.

Conclusion and Future Plans

The speaker thanks viewers for watching, mentions having tinctures in stock, awaiting lab results, and offering a concentrate for those interested in a more potent product with less liquid.
