Abstract
Provided herein are methods for protecting cannabinoids, typically in medicinal compositions, from heat-, sunlight- or artificial-light-induced degradation, and oxidative degradation due to contact with ambient air/oxygen. Also provided are methods for extending the shelf life, stability, and long term viability and efficacy of cannabis- and cannabinoid-containing medicinal compositions. Said cannabinoids are protected by providing the one or more cannabinoids in a composition comprising at least one non-ionic surfactant and at least one polyol.
Claims32
A method for protecting one or more cannabinoids from degradation, the method comprising providing the one or more cannabinoids in a composition comprising at least one non-ionic surfactant and at least one polyol.
A method for protecting one or more cannabinoids from oxidation, the method comprising providing the one or more cannabinoids in a composition comprising at least one non-ionic surfactant and at least one polyol.
A method for extending the shelf life or stability of one or more cannabinoids in solution, the method comprising providing the one or more cannabinoids in a composition comprising at least one non-ionic surfactant and at least one polyol.
A method for extending the shelf life of a cannabis- or cannabinoid-containing medicament, comprising providing the cannabis or cannabinoids in a composition comprising at least one non-ionic surfactant and at least one polyol.
A shelf stable cannabis- or cannabinoid-containing medicament or formulation, wherein a cannabis extract or one or more cannabinoids are provided in a composition comprising at least one non-ionic surfactant and at least one polyol, and wherein the shelf stability of the medicament or formulation is greater than 1 week, greater than 5 weeks, greater than 10 weeks, greater than 20 weeks, greater than 30 weeks, greater than 40 weeks, greater than 50 weeks, or greater than 52 weeks at or above room temperature.
