Development of a cost-effective emulsification technology suitable for infusion of cannabis phytocannabinoids into aqueous solutions to attain rapid onset of action and greater bio-availability
FY 2018-19 · 2019-02-01
Summary
The project involves investigation of physical and chemical properties of phytocannabinoid analogues (i.e. physio-chemically similar fatty acids and fatty alcohols) to identify most suitable test compound. The test compound will then be used to develop methods for emulsification and other delivery systems (e.g. microemulsions and nanoemulsions) that provide a uniform distribution of a substance in a water-based matrix as a representative model to be applied to infuse phytocannabinoids into aqueous beverage products.

Description
The project involves investigation of physical and chemical properties of phytocannabinoid analogues (i.e. physio-chemically similar fatty acids and fatty alcohols) to identify most suitable test compound.

Description (French)
Le projet comprend l'étude des propriétés physiques et chimiques des analogues phytocannabinoïdes (c.-à-d. des acides gras et des alcools gras physiochimiquement similaires) afin de déterminer le composé d'essai le plus approprié. Le composé d'essai sera ensuite utilisé pour développer des méthodes d'émulsification et d'autres systèmes d'administration (p. ex. microémulsions et nanoémulsions) qui assurent une distribution uniforme d'une substance dans une matrice aqueuse comme modèle représentatif à appliquer pour infuser des phytocannabinoides dans des boissons aqueuses.
