Cannabinoid Emulsions

Cannabinoid Emulsions are designed to overcome a fundamental principle in chemistry The antagonism between oil and water. Whereas beverages are water based, THC and CBD are extracted in
oil form. Working at the molecular level, emulsions keep infused beverages from looking like salad dressing. In more scientific terms, emulsification is the process by which one liquid (oil) is blended and suspended within another immiscible liquid (water). A compound called an emulsifier facilitates this process. The emulsifier has two distinctive parts – one hydrophobic, and one hydrophilic – that will arrange itself between the water and oil boundary and stabilize it. The goal is to infuse oil (cannabis in this case) into a beverage
to create a seamless and reliable experience for the consumer.But before the new product can be trusted and accepted by customers, the emulsion must also be compatible with its packaging. Let’s take a closer look at the three most commonly used vessels in beverage packaging, and the obstacles that they pose for
compatibility with infused products
