Hey all,
I’ve looked through a few of the “THC syrup” threads but still had a few questions about this process.
I’m looking to emulsify flower rosin into an organic cane-sugar based syrup and need every ingredient to be certified-organic. My end-goal is a syrup that can be used to flavor carbonated and non-carbonated beverages (both cold and hot), and as a dessert topping.
From my understanding, a high-shear homogenizer is the key to making the emulsification shelf-stable.
Do I need any other ingredient besides the organic cane-sugar based syrup and rosin to achieve emulsification? If so, is organic MCT-oil the best option?
Are there any homogenizers you’d recommend in the <$1,000 category? Looking to do 1L - 5 gal at a time.
Is there a better way to do this? Or a way to do it without the homogenizer?
Thanks in advance!

edit:
also wanted to mention that some separation in the bottle is fine, as long as the consumer can shake it and be able to use it normally
in terms of potency, I’m looking to do 500mg CBD per 2 fl oz of syrup. My rosin tests at about 55%
Are those things this unit can handle? Would it paired with the DK30 flow through chamber be suitable for this syrup emulsification or any of the other uses I mentioned above?
It’s my understanding that heat can play a vital role in how well these homogenizers work, how would you go about keeping a 5 - 50 gallon barrel/bucket heated?
Anything cannabis-related I should know that it’s not able to handle?
