Someone Suggested I post this here, so, here it is.
I just found out that the Butter mixture is known as "Enfleurage". Which is the process of capturing plant fragrances in fats and oils.
You can do it cold or hot. And people do it in Tallow and Lard. But I am going to continue to use Butter for Cannabutter, and I will use Coconut Oil if I am going to make anything meant to go on the skin.
But this opens up a new route of Application for Oilahuasca. You can extract the plant essence in fat or oil, just like when making Cannabutter. Then you can use the Enfluerage of the certain plants needed in order to get the Oilahuasca to work.
From what I can tell, this is also one of the best ways to extract the Terpene called "Ionone", which according to perfumers, does not extract well in to alcohol.
But I bet if you made Enflourage or used Lemonene, then went and separated via Alcohol and Polarization, you could probably get a good Alcohol Ionone extract.
By only using a single solvent, you are making what is known in the Perfume world as "Concrete". This would include everything from Cannabutter, to BHO. Even if you use water, you are making a single solvent hash, known as "Concrete". Which is usually only sold as incense in the perfume world, and with any other plant it would NEVER be considered "medical grade".
You have to do the second step. The first step is best if you use a Non-Polar Solvent like Butane, Lemonene, Hexane, Bezene or Butter.
Then, you either want to let that dry out and do a "wash", or you add some kind of 99% alcohol (Ethanol, Isopropyl or Methanol) and let it separate. Then you will get the 2 layers, which you can gather the alcohol layer of.
This is known as "Absolute" in the perfume world, and IS perfume grade. And with various plants, this would be known as "Medical Grade". With no contaminants.
