Powder Tea Composition Using Water-Soluble Cannabinoid Granules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cannabinoid tea beverages face issues with cannabinoid degradation, flavor loss, and non-uniform dispersion due to lipid solubility, leading to decreased effectiveness and taste impairment during storage and dissolution.
Innovation Solution
A powder tea composition is developed using a water-soluble granulated cannabinoid product and tea leaf powder, enhanced with additives for uniform dispersion and stability, eliminating the need for drying and preserving flavor.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If cannabinoid is directly used in powder tea form, then storage stability is improved, but uniform dispersion is poor due to lipid solubility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a water-soluble granulated product as an intermediary carrier that facilitates uniform dispersion of lipophilic cannabinoid in aqueous tea beverages. This granulated product acts as a bridge between the lipophilic cannabinoid and the hydrophilic tea beverage, enabling consistent distribution without requiring emulsifiers or solvents that would compromise storage stability.
2Manufacturing precision
If emulsifier is used to mix cannabinoid and tea powder, then uniform dispersion is improved, but drying step is required causing tea flavor degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the problematic drying step from the conventional emulsifier-based process. By using a water-soluble granulated product that can be directly mixed with tea beverage without requiring evaporation or drying, the patent eliminates the source of tea flavor degradation while maintaining uniform dispersion capability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If dry state mixing is used without solvent, then storage stability is improved, but fluidity and uniform mixing are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state parameter of the cannabinoid delivery system from solid dry powder to water-soluble granulated product. This parameter change enables the cannabinoid to maintain storage stability in powder form while gaining the fluidity and mixing properties needed for uniform dispersion when contacted by aqueous beverage, eliminating the need for separate solvent addition steps.
