Im surprised that STEV didnt get more attention after 'Weed2" with Gupta on Tues. There was a specific segment on Cannabanoids and this was released on 2/26 by STEV. This needs more attention!
Stevia Corp. Signs Consulting Agreement for Identification and Extraction of Cannabinoids from Cannabis
Feb 26 14
Stevia Corp. announced the signing of a farm management and technology agreement with ebbu LLC (ebbu) of Arvada, Colorado. ebbu utilizes chemistry and proprietary formulations to deliver consistent dosages of identified cannabinoids resulting in consistent emotional feelings or moods by the user. By branding the various moods, such as 'Chill' or 'Giggles' the products are easy to understand and all the consumer needs to know is how they want to feel. With expertise developed while working with the stevia plant and applying proprietary processes to breed and extract the plant's medicinal properties for use in feed additives, Stevia Corp. will work with ebbu to scale commercial extraction of identified cannabinoids. Extraction is the crucial first step in the analysis of medicinal plants and the production of targeted products. Proprietary processes then isolate the desired compounds to achieve purity, quality, consistency and effectiveness. The resulting compounds can then be used in a range of products from foods to cosmetics to pharmaceuticals. Scaling the extraction process from prototype to commercial operation requires specialized knowledge and skill that Stevia Corp. will provide to ebbu. The cannabis plant produces many chemical compounds called cannabinoids. There are more than 85 different cannabinoids that have been identified and isolated from the cannabis plant that exhibit varied effects and many of these are now being studied for their medical properties. ebbu's proprietary processes will enable it to cost effectively isolate and purify targeted compounds enabling ebbu to both formulate its own retail brands as well as become a major supplier of purified compounds to the medical industry and others.
