There is also a different metabolic route for water soluble.

Hey, yes certain plastics will have the cannabinoids leach into them. Using an hdpe bottle is probably your best bet.

My thoughts were more along the lines of the the coming out of solution and adhering to the inside of the bottle, most drinks I see are in a glass bottle.
The CAT X1740 Homogneizer can process up to 20 liters. It may be worth checking out.

People say that if I can’t get the CAT model, at least get a cheap ebay one. Anyone got some links of some decent options that can process smaller batches of oil for karts?

That’s funny, seems Dremel makes Biospec homogenizers according to some other sites. I wonder if there are any dremel tip attachments that would work for this process?
Also, I really like the specificity of the technical specifications of Scilogex brand products, while Cat’s info leaves something to be desired.
I am looking at the Scilogex D160. SCILOGEX D160 Homogenizer, 0.1-250ml | Scilogex

definitely worth going with CAT. The ones on ebay are for very small quantities, and CAT’s pricing really isnt that bad when compared.

Hey @Cannachem
I’m interested in developing an edible similar to a protein bar (or possibly a brownie/cookie) and am wondering if homogenization is possible with this type of product?
please dm me that research would love to read
What are you basing the bar with? If youre using any sort of oil/fats you should be fine. Just dissolve the cannabinoids in that oil/fat and continue the recipe from there. No need for ENTIRE homogenization, not really easy with a bar consisting of fairly large size particulates, unless you blend all the ingredients together.

I’m using coconut oil or mct oil as an ingredient, so I’m planning on dissolving the isolate into the oil. I wasn’t sure if simply dissolving the isolate into the oil would result into a homogenous mixture, but it seems people are saying I should be fine.
My main issue at this point will be being able to evenly distribute the oil among the other ingredients so that each bar has the same amount of CBD.
The particles must be uniform in order to have a homogeneous mixture; coconut oil , MCT oil and isolate. Most are under the illusion that because the constituents are miscible uniform cannbinoid potency happens automatically, it doesn’t!
We’ve been working with a CBD cookie manufacture in Los Angeles who purchased one of our hotplate stirrers to dissolve CBD isolate in MCT oil. When the cookies were tested for cannbinoid potency deviation, the batch came back with 40% cannabinoid potency deviation.
We suggested they employ a homogenizer after dissolving the isolate in the carrier. Nope, they use an overhead stirrer stirring the constituents for 2 hours, then into the cookie batter. The lab analysis results are still at 40% cannabinoid potency deviation.
We do have edible processors who use our homogenizes. When they’re batches are test for cannbinoid potency deviation, 1%-2% potency deviation.

Can you link to that study please.
How do you post in here?? We’re having a helluva time with our water (getting it to not be bitter) and I’d love some advice!!
Couple things needed to help out: What’s your loading ratio in mg/ml? Whats your surfactant to oil phase ratio? What percent of the aqueous phase is your bitter blockers?

Mary made some bitchin batter
Which she added to her butter
But the batter made her butter bitter
Then she learned of bitter blockers
Now her bitchin batter butter’s better
