Abstract
An enriched trichome pellet product including either a hop derived lupulin component or a cannabis derived trichome component, and the associated cryogenic and mechanical method for the efficient production of the pellet product. The pellet is produced at low temperatures, which aids in pellet production eliminating degradation of the hop lupulin having a high alpha acid and essential oils content that is especially suited for use in the brewing of beer and hop flavored beverages, and aids in eliminating degradation of the cannabis trichome having aromatic oils, and terpenoids and terpenes as well as therapeutic and psychoactive cannabinoids including THC, CBG, and CBD that is especially suited for use in cannabis component or “cannabinoid” enriched products.
