Shelf Life Quantification of THC Formulations
March 07, 2019
The fast-paced and growing market of THC- and CBD-infused beverages provides several challenges for a formulator. Aside from working in an entirely new market with new materials, guidelines are not yet in place to monitor and regulate the potency of such beverages as they age – the destabilization of the oil inside of the beverage can create zones where the dosage is higher than in other regions. Chromatographic techniques require an invasive process to quantify this stability. Here, we will show how the Static Multiple Light Scattering technique utilized in the Turbiscan device can be used to quantify the volume fraction evolution of a destabilizing THC-infused emulsion and letdown beverage.
