What Is Nano THC?
Oil and water don’t mix—a scientific fact so ingrained in our minds that it’s become a saying! But there’s an exception: cannabis nanoemulsions. Thanks to these, cannabis oil can easily blend with water. Nanotechnology allows cannabis to be used in any consumable product, from sodas and chewing gum to lotions.
Axiomm Technologies is expanding these possibilities with a precursor called GOO—a microorganism that makes it easier to create nano products, allowing any cannabis concentrate to mix with water. This, in turn, lets brands broaden their product lines, improve product features, and reach more customers.
With µGOO, nanotechnology is now accessible to cannabis companies of all sizes and budgets. This helps them create more reliable products and frees up more time for marketing, distribution, and sales.
“We make it possible for absolutely everyone to implement our nanotechnologies in a very affordable way, both in terms of price and ease of production,” says Axiomm President Andrew Wong.
How to Make Water and THC Work Together
Emulsification is the process that, for example, keeps your salad dressings together. Cannabis nanoemulsions work by taking large oil droplets and breaking them down into tiny particles that can mix with water, increasing the bioavailability of cannabinoids. If something destabilizes the mixture, the tiny oil droplets can clump together, causing cloudiness or even a separate oil layer.
A precursor like µGOO solves these problems and ensures the stability of nano-THC or nano-CBD. This versatility allows companies to create products for a wide range of cannabis consumers, including those who care about their health and don’t want to smoke or eat edibles regularly.
“Many people can now create emulsions with relatively small particle sizes, but that’s just the beginning. The benefits of our globally recognized nanotechnology are truly extensive and open many doors for developers and manufacturers,” explains Wong.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Nanotechnology
Two key advantages of nanotechnology are that nano-THC and CBD can be absorbed in places they normally wouldn’t, like the mouth and stomach. This allows for much faster absorption.
But there’s a catch: taste. While Wong notes that developing a stable, potent nanoemulsion is “millimeters” away from being ready for the market, that’s only half the battle. Nanoemulsions can have a very bitter taste, making it hard to create products everyone wants to try.
“There’s no such thing as a truly tasteless or odorless nanoemulsion,” Wong explains. “But with GOO, we’ve developed what we call a neutral flavor that eliminates unpleasant bitterness.”
In short, by using µGOO, cannabis producers don’t have to worry about the taste or quality of their products.
A New World of Cannabis
As cannabis becomes more socially (and legally) acceptable, more consumers are looking for ways to integrate its benefits into their daily lives. At the same time, technology is giving a growing market a vast consumer base!
GOO allows companies to fully unleash their creativity. Companies can also benefit from other Axiomm technologies, such as MIX, a water-soluble nanopowder that can be sold as a powder or mixed into edibles like cookies, brownies, or chocolate. There’s also CREAM, a cream that provides true absorption through the skin thanks to the very small size of the nanoparticles.
“There are many, many consumers who will simply never smoke cannabis again, but are still interested in consuming THC in a way that doesn’t harm their health,” says Wong.
GOO is made entirely from food-grade ingredients and contains no chemicals or solvents. This makes it especially appealing to health-conscious consumers looking for alternatives to smoking or baked goods.
Axiomm’s products have been used to make ready-to-eat foods, lotions, and even ingredients like baking powder.
“We provide our clients with commercial nanoemulsion equipment and flavored versions of our nano-liquid and nanopowder lines, so brands can truly explore our exciting and innovative technology,” adds Wong. “Overall, we want to improve everyone’s products in this industry, and we know we’ll do it.”
