Cannabinoid Hosting Compound Tablet for Flowability and Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for producing cannabis-based tablets struggle with combining different cannabinoids into a free-flowing powder that can be easily formed into a tablet, resulting in unpredictable pharmacological effects and unpleasant aftertastes.
Innovation Solution
The development of an activated cannabinoid controlled release compound tablet, which involves mixing cannabinoids with a hosting compound and a surfactant to form a controlled release compound, enhancing bioavailability and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If different cannabinoids are combined directly from granular to amorphous solids, then the tablet can be formed, but the flowability and manufacturability are poor
Solution Approach 1:
A hosting compound acts as an intermediary carrier that receives and holds the cannabinoid solids. The hosting compound provides a free-flowing matrix that enables poor-flowing cannabinoid materials to be processed into tablets effectively, resolving the contradiction between tablet formation capability and flowability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state and flow characteristics of cannabinoids by incorporating them into a hosting compound system. This parameter change transforms the poor-flowing granular or amorphous solids into a free-flowing mixture suitable for tablet manufacturing while maintaining the ability to form tablets.
2Quantity of substance
If cannabis leaves are used directly with extraction, then the active ingredient can be obtained, but the active ingredient level is uncontrolled and deteriorates over time
Solution Approach 1:
The cannabinoid solids are pre-processed and isolated from the cannabis plant before tablet formation. This preliminary action allows for controlled quantification of active ingredients and protects them from degradation during storage, ensuring both known quantity and long-term stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The hosting compound serves as a stable intermediary that protects the isolated cannabinoid solids from environmental degradation. This mediator maintains the pharmacological properties of the active ingredients over extended storage periods while allowing for precise control of ingredient levels.
3Quantity of substance
If cannabis oil is consumed directly, then the active ingredient can be delivered, but an unpleasant aftertaste is left in the mouth
Solution Approach 1:
The active cannabinoid ingredients are extracted and isolated from the cannabis oil matrix. This separation removes the unpleasant aftertaste components while retaining the pharmacologically active substances, which are then delivered in a purified solid form within the hosting compound.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical form from oil to isolated solids, fundamentally altering the sensory characteristics. This parameter change eliminates the unpleasant aftertaste associated with cannabis oil consumption while maintaining effective delivery of the active ingredients.
