Microencapsulación de mezcla de aceites de cáñamo, girasol y sacha inchi rico en CBD

Abstract

Several molecules of the hemp plant, such as CBD and THC, have been shown to be effective as treatments for psychiatric and other conditions such as sleep disorders, migraines, cancer pain, seizures and skin diseases. However, social stigma about the cultivation and consumption of this plant limits access to these treatments despite the fact that CBD has no psychoactive properties. The present study focused on making a microencapsulated product that combines the medicinal benefits of the hemp plant with the addition of sacha inchi oil, which is rich in fatty acids and vitamins, as an added value. To this end, an emulsion was made from a mixture of hemp, sacha inchi and sunflower oils together with gum arabic and maltodextrin, which fed a spray dryer to obtain a whitish powder, obtaining a yield of 63.87 percent in the best treatment, Subsequently, tests were carried out on the microencapsulated product where it was determined that it obtained an average humidity of less than 1.5 percent in the first week after it was obtained and 2.9 percent after 10 weeks of storage, it was also obtained that the fluidity of the microencapsulated product was not very acceptable even after the application of excipients to improve the fluidity, finally an infrared FTIR-ATR test was carried out where a good level of microencapsulation was qualitatively determined.
