| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Cannatrol Cool Cure (Dryer) is requested in support of the Horticulture Initiative that our Department and SUNY Orange (in conjunction with 5 other SUNY Colleges) are developing. This specialized drying equipment will allow critical drying and extraction of CBD compounds from cultivated flowers to produce a resin mixture for further isolation of specific substances. It will also give students hands-on operation expertise in this phase of biochemical precessing. Resin produced will be further purified in chemistry 150. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Without the equipment, drying will be done in a less controlled environment, require longer time periods and possible biodegradation/oxidation of cannaboid derivatives. |
