Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The inconsistency in the chemical composition of cannabis due to varying cultivars and environmental factors makes it difficult to achieve consistent and targeted effects in cannabis compositions from batch to batch.
Innovation Solution
An oral cannabis composition comprising molecularly separated cannabinoids distillate and a specific terpene blend, produced through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, winterization, and distillation, is developed to provide consistent effects. The composition includes MCT oil and a carefully formulated terpene blend with specific ratios of terpenoids to achieve desired therapeutic benefits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If cannabis compositions are made from natural plant materials, then the composition contains diverse chemical compounds, but the chemical composition varies inconsistent batch to batch due to cultivar and environmental factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the cannabis chemical profile into distinct components: isolated cannabinoid distillate (containing only cannabinoid molecules) and separate terpene blends. This segmentation allows each component to be produced and controlled independently, ensuring consistent batch-to-batch composition while maintaining the full spectrum of beneficial compounds.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the production parameters by using molecular separation techniques (such as chromatography or distillation) to isolate cannabinoids from the complex plant matrix, then reconstituting them with controlled terpene blends. This parameter change from raw plant material to purified and reconstituted composition ensures consistent chemical composition across batches.
2Manufacturing precision
If molecularly separated cannabinoids are used, then the cannabinoid purity is improved, but the natural terpene profile is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the purified cannabinoid distillate with carefully selected terpene blends in a controlled manner. This combining process restores the terpene profile that was lost during molecular separation, while maintaining the high purity of the cannabinoid component. The result is a composition that achieves both high cannabinoid purity and restored terpene diversity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary separation of cannabinoids from plant material to achieve high purity, then subsequently adds back the appropriate terpene profile through controlled blending. This preliminary action allows for precise control over the cannabinoid purity before the final composition is assembled, ensuring both high purity and desired terpene content.
3Reliability
If a specific terpene blend is reintroduced, then the therapeutic effects are standardized, but the natural variation in terpene content is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the terpene content parameters by using controlled blending processes that incorporate specific ratios of terpene compounds. This parameter change ensures uniform terpene content across batches while maintaining the therapeutic effects associated with diverse terpene profiles, achieving both consistency and uniformity.
