Abstract

Cannabis-based clear nanoemulsions and methods of preparing cannabis-based nanoemulsions without a homogenizer are described. In an aspect, a method of preparing a cannabis-based nanoemulsion includes combining a surfactant preparation with a cannabis-based preparation to create a mixture; combining the mixture with a solvent to create an organic phase; adding the organic phase to an aqueous phase; and evaporating the solvent. In another aspect, a phase inversion method of preparing a nanoemulsion is described.

Abstract

Methods and processes for efficiently extracting cannabinoids from cannabis are described together with cannabis extracts obtained using such methods. A method may include: preparing a premixture by mixing dried cannabis with a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) powder; incubating the premixture; and after incubating the premixture, adding a liquid to the premixture to create a liquid mixture and filtering the cannabis from the mixture.

Abstract

Powdered cannabis extracts and methods for obtaining powdered cannabis extracts are described. In an aspect, the present application describes a method of preparing a single-serve container which may be configured for receipt in a single-serve brewing machine. The method may include obtaining the cannabis extract which is processed to obtain powdered cannabis, in particular by encapsulation of the extract in sodium caseinate using freeze-drying. The powdered extract is added to the single-serve container which may further include a flavoring agent, and the container is sealed.
