Terra Tech Corp Expands Into CBD and Botanical Extraction

Oakland, March 24, Mar 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Terra Tech Corp. (TRTC), through their medical cannabis subsidiary GrowOp Technology Ltd, is pleased to announce they are developing a research and industrial extraction facility focused on the medical cannabis market. The facility will be located in Oakland, CA and is being built in response to what the company views as an increase in demand for high grade CBD as well as other botanical extracts. As a first step the company has purchased a custom 20 liter 5,000 PSI supercritical CO2 extractor from Eden Labs.

The extractor is designed for botanical and nutraceutical extractions and will be utilized to extract CBD in an effort to have complete control and consistency as they continue to work with Inergetics in the creation of a CBD-based nutritional supplement. This key piece of equipment utilizes CO2 as a solvent, which is superior because it is non-flammable and non-toxic mitigating negative environmental impacts as well as several safety concerns that have been associated with butane extraction. This process allows for the selective extraction of compounds from a variety of botanicals, which possess potent antioxidant as well as neuroprotectant properties.

"Consumers are becoming more educated about safety and quality as the legal medical cannabis market spreads throughout the US," explains Derek Peterson, CEO of Terra Tech Corp. "Patients deserve access to products that are both effective and free from harmful residues. Our intention once we complete our top of the line facility is to partner with a permitted California based medical cannabis dispensary where we can pair their expertise with our equipment and technology to synthesize and create some amazing products."

Looking forward, Terra Tech Corp sees significant shareholder value in researching various methods of extraction as well as protecting those proprietary findings through process patents. Terra Tech's recent investments in the construction of a fully functional, industrial production and research facility will be the company's first endeavor into commercially sustainable botanical extraction. These product lines are to include compound profiles and ratios, tailored to the ever-expanding demands in the marketplace.
