The Importance of Formulation
The process of formulation specifically deals with creating water-soluble cannabinoids as well as formulating end products that use water-soluble cannabinoids in the mixture. Cannabinoids are fat-soluble so making them dissolve in water-based products can be a challenge.
Formulation Starts with Distillate/Isolate
The first step in creating a water-soluble formulation is to procure high potency cannabinoid distillate or isolate. From there, water-soluble formulation can become very scientific and may take lengthy laboratory time to perfect but with the proper cannabinoid material and a trained formulation chemist, water-soluble cannabinoid end products can be achieved.
Water-soluble cannabinoid products are highly sought after, and they are one of the most important end products in the future of the cannabis processing industry.
Nanoemulsion
The process for creating water-soluble cannabinoids begins with nanoemulsion. A common piece of equipment for creating nanoemulsions is an ultrasonic homogenizer.
The ultrasonic homogenizer uses ultrasonic waves to reduce the cannabinoids into nano-particles making them easier to emulsify. Once the nanoemulsion is made, an emulsifier is added to the mixture.
Emusliferes allow the nanoparticles of cannabinoids to bind with the water molecules in the mixture. This allows the cannabinoids to stay suspended within the liquid rather than separate. Beyond this, a spray dryer can be used to create a dry powder from the emulsified cannabinoid mixture.
Water-soluble cannabinoid end products are highly sought after and are much easier to absorb into your system than traditional edibles. Water-soluble cannabinoids can have varying degrees of emulsification. This means that some mixtures may be less emulsified than others, creating an unpleasant taste, or a chalky texture within the liquid. This is why it is imperative to perform proper R&D and ensure full emulsification to create the best cannabinoid end products possible.
