@chewwie… She would not care. Her company thinks its ok to use mineral oil to cut distillate. You might wanna take what @Audra has shared with a grain of salt unless you think its ok to poison people. then go ahead and take her advice.

Try infusing into the high fructose corn syrup. I know this doesn’t help with your way to mix distillate into water but may help for your THC soda
Doesn’t work they separate! I’ve been working on soda for a year now

that was the plan but I found another solution
Don’t give up, sodas like sprite have emulsified oils. Your success will really hinge on the surfactant/ emulsifier system you are using and the manner that you homogenize. Ph and tempature will need to be taken into consideration as well to develop the soda formulation.

I have been having awesome results using Vitamin E TPGS as an emulsifier - check it out!

Interesting… It’s a vitamin e PEG

Basically, but it’s FDA GRAS and considered natural. Used in pharmaceuticals.

Other types of PEG are not?
I’m not sure, I just know that this one is

There is no one magic ingredient that will make a crystal clear beverage. Distillate will behave different that isolate. An emulsifier that will fully envelop one fraction may not work with a lighter fraction. Often the only way is brute force. I know of at least one sport drink flavor base that has to be made into a batch using a high shear homogenizer and then run through a piston homogenizer at 32000 psi. This in order to remove the brominated vegetable oil from the easy to emulsify formula. Which was once used as a weighting agent to keep the lighter flavor fractions (terpenes) from rising to the top.

Hey thanks for all the tips and tricks everyone. I’ve tried lecithin and it good for a home batch but beta was the business

I use hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces to hold my cannabinoids in water. Typically it does help to have surfacents or emulsifiers. Using chemistry and the molecule structure composed of negative o molecule and the hydrogen on the cannabinoid provides, the ability to use the intermolecular forces of the cannabinoids and FA-OH provide great affinity and solubility in creating a soluble cannabinoid in water.

You need to use a formula that is able to hold onto the THC and dissolve in water at the same time. There are a lot of challenges in formulating something that works and showing that it does work. Message me if you are interested in licensing this type of technology.
