Another trick that might work is using baked epsom salts to dry out the dissolved extract in butter. With totaly dried out epsom salt, all the trace water that would otherwise contaminate the butter is eliminated and takes the chlorophyll with it.

I might just add that you don't get any of this kind of problem if you do your extraction with naptha (petroleum ether) in the first place, so long as you completely dry the bud before you do the extraction. It comes out a golden honey colour instead of nasty greenish black.

In fact, even better is to just go straight to oil, start with something like beef dripping, do your extraction into that directly, and then separate with water.

Dripping is better because it solidifies much harder at a much lower temperature, meaning you can get the job done sooner.

Cocoa butter also is a reasonable alternative, and contains a lot of stuff in common with beef dripping, mainly the stuff that makes it hard, stearic acid.
