Cannabis Nanoemulsions Explained, Finally

This means an emulsion is a great way to increase the bioavailability of cannabinoids, but a nanoemulsion in which the droplets are 100nm or smaller is even better.Nanoemulsions can be defined as oil-in-water emulsions with droplet diameters ranging from 50nm to 1000nm.

Like emulsions, nanoemulsions contain emulsifiers, oil-soluble molecules cannabinoids must be trapped inside some form of “colloidal” particle before they can be dispersed into water.

Let us briefly see the theory behind each of these procedures.High-pressure homogenizers: Due to intense pressure, the interface between the water and oil is deformed to such an extent the formed droplets are broken up into smaller ones.

It requires control of several parameters and many factors that affect the synthesis of the nanodroplets, including the type of chamber in the equipment, the number of reservoirs in the equipment , and the time and energy applied during the process.
