Hash and Stuff Terps

Hey guys! I am rather new to this topic and this will also be my first post on future4200.

I am aware that most Terpenes have lipophil properties. My question is if there is a way or a method to create a homogenous Terpene infused drink (on H20 basis)?

If this question has allready been answered or doesn’t belong in here, please let me know. Like I said I am new to the community and I am eager to learn more.
Thanks in Advance.

I would try vegetable glycerin as the emulsifier. Possibly ethanol would work too.

Look into orange soda formulations as orange oil is primarily terpenes

You could formulate an oil in water emulsion. In the food industry there’s been ongoing research in using essential oil nanoemulsions as antimicrobial agents.

Here’s a paper on emulsifying limonene for some reference but the method they used (phase inversion temperature) is a bit more complicated than high-energy methods.

Apparently sodium caseinate is a good one. Couple others listed with effectiveness, particle size and stability
