Mixing Sweeteners into Bulk Oil Formulations???

Hey All,

Some of our clients are wanting ‘sweet’ CBD tincture formulations and we are having difficulties fully mixing the sweetening agent and the rest of the oil formulation (mainly MCT and crude). Most sweetening agents (agave, maple syrup, etc.) are polar and don’t like mixing with the oil, let alone being emulsified in it.

Has anyone had any experience with sonication or high shear mixing being able to successfully blend or at least suspend the polar sweeteners in the nonpolar oil solution? Heating definitely helps a bit but ultimately there is separation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Glycerin and a homogenizer?
