Abstract
A method of producing a cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition for administration to a human and thereafter producing a consumable food product including the cannabinoid nanoparticle emulsification. The cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition is combined with a particulate food product, herb or spice, sugar, salt, or particulate preservative, mixed into a slurry or suspension, dried, and then ground to a size suitable for human consumption.
Claims15
A method of incorporating a cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition in particular foods and food additives, comprising:
- (a) mixing non-ionic surfactants with cannabinoid oils and lipids in a mixing vessel wherein the non-ionic surfactants, cannabinoid oils, and lipids, respectively, are mixed in proportions of 5.9:9 by weight of a total formula weight of the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition;
- (b) processing the mixture made in step (a) using sonication for a predetermined time at a predetermined amplification until completely processed and substantially all of the cannabinoid oils are reduced to nanoparticle size in a cannabinoid oil complex (COC);
- (c) dissolving ascorbic acid in a carrier fluid to make an acidic carrier fluid solution, wherein the ascorbic acid is in a relative amount of 0.01-3% by weight of the total formula weight of the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition;
- (d) mixing the COC made in steps (a) and (b) with the acidic carrier fluid solution made in step (c);
- (e) sonicating the mixture made in step (d) using an ultrasonic liquid processor operated at a predetermined amplitude for a predetermined time at a controlled temperature until substantially all of the cannabinoid oils in step (d) are returned to nanoparticle size to complete the process of making the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition;
- (f) combining the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition with a consumable particulate food product or food additive selected from the group consisting of herbs and spices, flavorings, seasonings, salts, sugars, and particular food preservatives, or any combination thereof;
- (g) blending the combination made in step (f) to make a slurry or suspension;
- (h) drying the slurry or suspension is evaporated or dried to a solid state;
- and
- (i) reducing the dried product to a nominal particle mass size suitable for human consumption.
