HELP: Oil from material with bud rot? (botrytis cinerea)

Hello all!

I have a bunch of plant material with bud rot (botrytis cinerea).. i do not want to trow all this material away and thought it may be possible to make oil from it, but i need help to get this done right so its clean and safe to consume.

Will Decarboxylation at 110 degrees Celsius for an hour sealed in mason jars also kill the mold?
Will the use of 70% ethanol or isopropanol for extraction also kill of eventual bacteria and viruses?
Will a final filtration through a 0.2 micron syringe filter get rid of all the dead spores and other crap while still let all the cannabinoids and terpenes pass through the filter?

Any thoughts, ideas and actual experience in this mater is highly welcome!

Botrytis doesn't produce any known aflatoxins, but some brothers and sister women can have a Type 1 allergic reaction to the spores and filaments, and they smell taste moldy and musty.

You can trim off the mushy parts and extract the salvageable portion using either BHO or QWET. If BHO, redissolve in Ethanol and winterize.

With both QWET and winterized BHO, do a final filtration to 0.2 microns, and you will remove not only all the filaments and spores, but the musty/moldy smell and taste as well.

Thanks for your reply Fadedawg, highly appreciated!

The plant material is already dry, even the moldy parts, so its very hard to separate the effected parts from the better looking bits, don't want to handle the plant material to much either since it may stir up clouds of spores..
Would it be ok to do QWET with the dry effected parts in the mix?

Also do you know what 0.2 micron filters are suitable for this application, they come in so many plastic materials that its hard to know what filters to order.. i guess it has to be a plastic that don't leach anything in to the high percentage solvent being pulled trough it.. maybe ISO is the most suitable "gentle" solvent to be used in this case?

Syringe filters are what I use when I need to filter that low. They can handle ethanol no problem. Ethanol is not really that strong of a solvent.

I get mine from Aliexpress at a fraction of the cost but take a lot longer to get.

What BC said. We also use syringe filters.

Thanks guys!

Around how much solvent can be filtered before a filter is done?
