Kava extraction with ethanol, acetone etc

[babesugarbunny]

I have been searching for a bit and the threads that touch this subject is some years old and it seemed better to start a new one.
What I can find by researching, it is possible to extract compounds (Psychoactive) from Kava with different solvents. The traditional way of preparing is something I truly enjoy, but I also find it interesting and fun to experiment with different way of consuming plants, herbs and roots. I found this article about it:

(PDF) Efficacy of extracting solvents to chemical compounds of kava (Piper methysticum) root

PDF | The chemical composition of kava (Piper methysticum) lactones and various phytochemicals obtained following the sonication of ground kava roots... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on ResearchGate

Does anyone have experience doing this? Or have you heard anything good or bad about it?
I'm thinking that it might be an interesting thing to make your own extract to add to your grog.

I hope everyone has a nice day/evening!

Kavalactones Extraction

Good Morning everyone, I have been working on a product for the last couple months and need some advice in the most effective way to extract Kava lactones from kava, I cannot afford CO2 extraction (presuming it would cost several $100's of dollars), so that's off the table and I don't want to...

Thank you! Seems like I found all threads about it except yours!

To be fair, it was a while back.

I have done a homemade ethanol (everclear 190proof) extraction. I then mixed it with coconut oil and boiled off the alcohol over a couple of hours. Once boiled off I froze the coconut oil into little cubes for little cold kava cubes. Tasty, worked just fine - but not really worth the effort and given we really don't know what else alcohol extract beyond the proven safe water extraction not something I would use as an every day item. Still fun to experiment.
