Cannabinoid-loaded formulations are characterized by including 0.5 wt. % to 20 wt. % medium chain triglycerides, one or more hydrophilic surfactants, one or more co-surfactants and 0.1 wt. % or more of at least one cannabinoid. The formulations are in microemulsion form, and are fully dilutable by an aqueous diluent.

Dilutable formulations of cannabinoids and processes for their preparation

Provided are cannabinoid-loaded, dilutable microemulsion formulations with low oil content including oleic acid and linoleic acid.

Provided are methods for selective extraction of cannabinoids, for example cannabidiol (CBD), from a plant source, by using tailored extraction media.

Method for selective extraction of cannabinoids from a plant source

Provided is a process for extraction of a lipophilic agent from a plant source, the process including: mixing a first quantity of a plant source, the plant source being containing the lipophilic agent and a first quantity of an extraction medium to obtain a first mixture, the extraction medium being in the form of a microemulsion and comprising at least one oil, at least one hydrophilic surfactant, at least one co-surfactant and optionally at least one co-solvent; homogenizing the first mixture under conditions maintaining the microemulsion structure; and separating the homogenized mixture into a biomass slurry and an agent-loaded medium to obtain the agent-loaded medium in a microemulsion form.
