Abstract
Disclosed are improved methods for producing solid powdered theacrine compositions that are virtually flavorless and improved theacrine compositions.
Claims20
A method of reducing or eliminating the bitterness of theacrine, said method comprising:
- heating a carrier until it reaches its melting temperature point to produce a melted carrier;
- dissolving powdered theacrine;
- mixing the dissolved powdered theacrine into the melted carrier to produce a mixture;
- cooling the mixture;
- milling the cooled mixture to a desirable particle size;
- and
- washing off under filtration the milled mixture with a solvent until the washed off solute has no detectable bitter flavor, wherein the solvent solubilizes theacrine.

A method of reducing or eliminating the bitterness of theacrine, said method consists of:
- dissolving a carrier in a first solvent selected from the group consisting of:
- an alcohol and water;
- dissolving powdered theacrine in the first solvent;
- mixing the dissolved carrier and the dissolved powdered theacrine to produce a mixture;
- evaporating the first solvent from the mixture;
- milling the evaporated mixture in a desirable particle size;
- and
- washing off under filtration the milled mixture with second solvent selected from the group consisting of:
- ethanol, chloroform, methanol, and water until the washed off solute has no detectable bitter flavor, wherein the second solvent solubilizes theacrine.
6 more elements
A solid composition comprising:
- theacrine or its derivatives;
- and
- a carrier selected from the group consisting of:
- a high molecular weight fatty acid, hydrogenated derivative of the high molecular weight fatty acid, esterified derivative of the high molecular weight fatty acid, an aliphatic alcohol, hydrogenated derivative of the aliphatic alcohol, esterified derivative of the aliphatic alcohol, resin, wax, and mixtures thereof,
- wherein theacrine is dispersed inside the composition and said composition has reduced bitter flavor.
