Sucrose esters/infused beverages

Anyone have any experience using sucrose esters/sucrose acetate isobutyrate in combination with MCT for making infused drinks? It seems to be a common emulsifier in Washington edibles, no notable taste from what I’ve tried.

I’d like to get a sample to play around with, all I can find are the generic sucrose esters though. Anyone have a source for the sucrose acetate isobutyrate? Tips, tricks…?

So I’ve heard, I just stick to things I’ve seen being made or are from reputable companies for the most part

Edibles I’m a little more adventurous with

I’m joking (partially) haha

I’m sure their are good edibles out there (even if they are overpriced)

That’s one thing I haven’t tried out in our rec market.

I can’t provide you with an SOP but I can help get you sucrose acetate isobutyrate (pure or diluted in ethanol). FG/kosher/halal. The MOQ is typically around $100 for most food grade materials but I’m sure that would be more than enough to get you started on some R&D. It would need to be shipped to a business.

I’m still curious about SAIB, anyone care to share anything? Looks like you just need to incorporate the flavor oils with cannabinoids and SAIB to match the specific gravity of your drink, and max of 300ppm in the finished drink. I’m curious about the criticality of homogenization and particle size for small batch home infused cocktails
