CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] The present patent application claims the priority benefit of U.S. provisional patent application number 62/817,366 filed March 12, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Disclosure

[0002] The present disclosure is generally related to systems and methods for matching an encapsulation device with a beverage. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for the incorporation of cannabis extracts into a beverage via an encapsulation device.

2. Description of the Related Art

[0003] Cannabis is a genus of flowering plant belonging to a family of cannabaceae, and has three common species, or sub-species, namely cannabis sativa, cannabis indica, and cannabis ruderalis. The genus is indigenous to central Asia and the Indian subcontinent Cannabis has a long history of being used for therapeutic and recreational purposes. The importance of cannabis in therapeutics is emphasized by the ever-increasing number of research publications related to the new indications for cannabis. Active ingredients present in the cannabis plant responsible for both medicinal and psychoactive effects are known as cannabinoids.

Cannabinoids are terpeno-phenolic compounds unique to tihe cannabis genus and are produced by glandular trichomes that occur on most aerial surfaces of plants. Over one hundred cannabinoids are known to exist and are biosynthesized in the plant in acidic forms known as acidic cannabinoids. The acidic cannabinoids can be decarboxylated during the drying of harvested plant material. Decarboxylation can be hastened by heating the cannabis biomass, such as when the cannabis biomass is smoked or vaporized. The principle cannabinoids present in the cannabis are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid ("Delta-9-THCA") and cannabidiolic acid ("CBDA"). The Delta-9-THCA does not have its own psychoactive properties, but can be decarboxylated to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol ("Delta-9-THC"), which is the most potent psychoactive cannabinoid among known cannabinoids. Other active ingredients which can be present in the cannabis biomass indude terpenes and flavonoids.

[0004] As cannabis consumption for both medicinal and recreational purposes increases, consumers demand alternative forms of cannabis products that are convenient and pleasant to consume. Consumable cannabis products can indude, but are not limited to edible and drinkable products. Infusing cannabinoids into such products can indude a myriad of manufacturing challenges.

SUMMARY OF THE CLAIMED INVENTION

[0005] Examples of the present disclosure indude systems and methods for matching one of a beverage, a cannabis extract, and an encapsulation device to the remaining options. In particular, the system and methods can select an optimum cannabis extract to be used with a selected beverage based on a variety of parameters relating to each of the cannabis extract, and the beverage. Each of the selected articles of manufacture can then be used to create a cannabis- infused beverage. In an alternative, the system can begin with a preferred cannabis extract and use the methods described herein to determine an optimum beverage for creating a consumable beverage infused with the preferred cannabis extract.

[0006] In addition to matching a cannabis extract with a beverage, the system and methods described herein can match the cannabis extract and the beverage with an encapsulation device that can prevent foe cannabis extract from mixing with foe beverage until a user is ready. The systems and methods described herein can evaluate various parameters of foe cannabis extract and foe beverage in order to select an optimum encapsulation device to create a pleasant cannabis-infused consumable beverage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The present disclosure presents systems and methods for matching an encapsulation device having a cannabis extract with a beverage. Cannabis-infused beverage can be used as a medium that is both convenient and pleasant to consume for users. A cannabis-infused beverage, also known as a drink or liquid edible or drinkable, can refer to a drink that has been infused with cannabinoids. However, incorporating cannabis concentrates or cannabis extracts into a liquid can present several challenges including both regulatory and manufacturing challenges. For example, regulatory challenges may include restrictions on the types of beverages that cannabinoids may be incorporated into, based on various properties of the beverage including, but not limited to, flavor, packaging type, marketing groups, and whether the beverage contains alcohol or other mood altering components.

[0012] Manufacturing challenges of incorporating a cannabis extract or cannabis concentrate into a drink can include, but are not limited to, the amount, form, and potency (including, but not limited to, concentration or amount) of the cannabinoids to be integrated into the beverage manufacturing process. Additionally, some consumers may wish to consume a cannabis-infused beverage that does not have a large enough market size to be mass produced such as a custom or bespoke beverage, cocktail, tea, juice, or the like. Additionally, users may have personal preferences regarding the quantity of a beverage they wish to consume without adjusting the dosage of cannabis and vice versa.

[0013] Additional manufacturing challenges can include the active and inactive components within the cannabis extract. For example, the components of the cannabis extracts^ including cannabinoids, can degrade over time when incorporated into a liquid, which can reduce the shelf life of the drink. Furthermore, the degradation of the cannabis extract can result in a beverage with inconsistent flavor, potency, and color, throughout the shelf life of the consumable. The container in which the cannabis-infused beverage is stored can also effect the stability of the infusion.

[0014] There exists a need for a method, system, and article of manufacture capable of providing a cannabis extract, or formulation of cannabinoids, which can be added to any beverage a consumer desires and provide a stable resulting cannabis-infused beverage. In at least one example, the systems and articles described herein can be included with a beverage product for rapid administration of a cannabis extract into said beverage. In other examples, the articles of manufacture described herein may be available individually, to be added to any beverage of a user's choice.

[0015] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary network environment 100 in which a system for infusing a cannabis extract 104 into a beverage 126 may be implemented. The network environment 100 can include an encapsulation device 102 capable of encapsulating a cannabis extract 104. The encapsulation device 102 can be made of various materials based on the desired method for infusing the cannabis extract 104 with the beverage 126. The encapsulation device 102 can be rigid, flexible, dissolvable, or edible, hi at least one example, the encapsulation device 102 can be designed to dissolve in the beverage 126. In an alternative example, the encapsulation device 102 can be incorporated into a portion of the container 124 that the beverage 126 is held.

[0016] Various examples of suitable encapsulation devices 102 are provided herein. It should be understood that these are for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered limiting. For example, the encapsulation device 102 may be a removable portion of a label or a "widget" disposed inside of the cap of a bottle. An example of a widget which can be used as an encapsulation device 102 can include an element placed in a beverage container 124 to manage the characteristics of the beverage inducting, but not limited to, carbonation. Another example of a widget which can be used as an encapsulation device 102 in the present system can indude a "floating widget," or an element which can float on the liquid. Floating widgets can indude at least a small hole and a seam through which a cannabis extract can be released. Yet another example of a widget which can be used in the present system is a "rocket widget" which can be triggered to release a cannabis extract at a pressure change.

[0017] In other examples, the encapsulation device 102 can be permanently attached to the beverage container 124. For example, the encapsulation device 102 can be a trap dispenser secured within a beverage container 124 lid or cap. In the alterative, the encapsulation device 102 can be an opening mechanism intended to dispense components, such as a cannabis extract 104, from a storage compartment (encapsulation device 102) into the beverage immediately prior to consumption.

[0018] In yet another example, the encapsulation device 102 can be dissolvable, including but not limited to, a tablet or dissolvable capsule. Such dissolvable encapsulation devices 102 can be designed to dissolve only when the encapsulation device 102 is submerged in the beverage. In another example, the encapsulation device 102 can be a paper packet or enclosure, which contains the cannabis extract in the form of a dry powder or a liquid, and which can be easily tom or opened. The previous examples are merely illustrative, and should not be considered limiting. Additional encapsulation devices 102 may exist which are capable of safely storing a cannabis extract or concentrate in one or more forms until infused into a beverage.

[0019] The encapsulation device 102 as described above can contain a cannabis extract or concentrate 104. The cannabis extract 104 can include a plurality of active components 106 and a plurality of additional components 108. The plurality of active components 106 can include at least one cannabinoid. In at least one example, the plurality of active components 106 can include several cannabinoids and/or other phytochemicals, such as terpenoids and flavonoids. Cannabis plants can consist of over 500 unique chemical compounds, including over 100 cannabinoids, including, but not limited to, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol ("CBG"), cannabichromene ("CBC"), cannabigerivarin ("CBGV"),

tetrahydrocannabivarin ("THCV"), cannabidivarin ("CBDV"), and cannabichromevarin ("CBCV"), or the acidic cannabinoids including, but not limited to, cannabigerolic acid ("CBGA"), delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid ("THCA"), cannabidiolic acid ("CBDA"), cannabichromenenic acid ("CBCA"), cannabigerovarinic acid ("CBGVA"),

tetrahydrocanabivarinic acid ("THCVA"), cannabidivarinic acid ("CBDVA"), and

cannabichromevarinic acid ("CBCVA")).

[0020] Cannbis plants can also consist of over 200 terpenes, inducting myrcene, limonene, linalool, caryophytiene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, alpha-bisabolol, eucalyptol, trans-nerolido, humulene, delta 3 carene, camphene, bomeol, berpineol, valencene, geraniol, etc. The active components 106 of the cannabis extract 104 can indude any combination of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. In at least one example, the cannabis extract 104 can indude at least a first cannabinoid (such as THC), a second cannabinoid (such as CBD), and any number N of additional cannabinoids.

[0021] In addition to active components 106, the cannabis extract 104 can indude one or more additional components 108. The additional components 108 can be used to create a preferred cannabis formulation such as additives and exdpients. Additives which can also be present in the formulated cannabis extract 104 can indude, but are not limited to, a colorant; a flavorant, a carrier, a bioavailability modifier, a scent, or any other component which can assist in the creation of a formulated cannabis extract 104. In at least one example, users may prefer for an aqueous-based beverage to be infused with cannabinoids. The active ingredients present in cannabis, inducting such cannabinoids and terpenes as described above, are generally hydrophobic in nature, and therefore show poor solubility in aqueous solutions. As such, exdpients which can be provided as an additional component 108 of the cannabis extract 104 include a water-soluble exdpient which allows the cannabis extract 104 to be fully incorporated into the beverage.

[0022] The water soluble exdpient can be any suitable excipient, additive, or combination of excipients and additives which can increase the solubility and/or physicochemical stability of the cannabis extract in the beverage. Water-soluble excipients can be inactive substances which merely serve as a medium for one or more active components 106 as described above. For example, cyclodextrins are known to be good drug carrier molecules for enhancing the solubility of a drug and are known to stabilize emulsions due to their complexation ability. Various formulations of cyclodextrins in a water solution can be considered appropriate excipients for the cannabis extract 104 of the present disclosure including, but not limited to, beta- cyclodextrins-p-sulfobutyl ether cydodextrin ("SBE-b-CD"). The water-soluble excipients can additionally indude one or more complexing agents inducting, but not limited to beta- cydodextrin. The complexing agents can be used to form a complex with the active components 106 present in the formulated cannabis extract; such as delta-9-THC/beta-cydodextrin complex. The complex formed by the additional components 108 can be substantially soluble in the aqueous solution. Thus, upon forming an emulsion, the active components 106 can be solubilized and move into an aqueous phase of the emulsion. The active components 106 and additional components 108 of the cannabis extract 104 can be combined according to a predetermined stoichiometry. As discussed above, the formulated cannabis extract 104 can be in any form retainable in the desired encapsulation device 102 including, but not limited to, a liquid, a dried powder, a packed tablet a compressed gas, or the like.

[0023] An exemplary formulated cannabis extract 104 can be a dry, solid powder including the cannabinoids Delta-9-THC, CBD, as well as additives and excipients used to formulate the cannabis extract 104 for the intended encapsulation device 102 For example, the formulation process can be configured to increase the solubility and physicochemical stability of the cannabis extract and cannabinoids therein in an aqueous liquid. Such formulation can allow the cannabis extract to be fully incorporated into a beverage.

[0024] The network environment 100 can further comprise a beverage manufacturer 122 which can include a facility for producing various elements of beverage manufacturing including beverage containers 124 and various beverages 126. In at least one example, the beverage containers 124 which can be used with the present system can include, but are not limited to, an aluminum can, an aluminum bottle, a glass bottle, a plastic bottle, a paper carton, or any container suitable for retaining a consumable beverage. The beverage containers 124 can comprise any one of a number of beverages 126 including, but not limited to, water, coffee, tea, tea infusions, alcohol, beer, soda, carbonated drinks, wine, cider, milk, hot chocolate, fruit or vegetable juice, sports drinks, energy drinks, kombucha, protein supplements and meal replacements, or any other type of beverage 126.

[0025] The network environment 100 can include a beverage sever 110 having a memory 112 and a matching algorithm 120 stored thereon. The memory 112 of the beverage server 110 includes a plurality of databases stored thereon. The plurality of databases includes a beverage database 114, an extract database 116, and an encapsulation database 118. The beverage database 114 can indude a list of beverages 126 which can be infused with a cannabis extract and details of the composition of each beverage. In at least one example, the details of each beverage stored in the beverage database 114 can indude, but is not limited to, a pH, a fat content a flavor profile, a color, a viscosity, a dissolved gas, a gas content, and combinations thereof. The extract database 116 can indude a list of cannabis extracts 140 induding a listing of cannabis extract parameters including, but not limited to, active compounds, extract form, pH range, fat content required to be dissolved, flavor profile, color, effect on consumer, and the like. The encapsulation database 118 includes a list of encapsulation devices 102 which can be used to assist in infusing a cannabis extract 104 in a beverage 126. The encapsulation database 118 can include parameters relating to each of tire various encapsulation devices 102 stored thereon including, but not limited to, material, size, solubility parameters, extract dispersal method, matched extracts, and the like. The parameters stored in each of the plurality of databases can be accessed by the matching algorithm 120 and assist in the determination of the appropriate cannabis extract 104 and encapsulation device 102 for use with a specific beverage 126.

[0026] A beverage manufacturer 122 and an extract manufacturer 128 can be

communicatively coupled with the beverage server 110 via a communications network 130. In some embodiments the beverage manufacturer 122 and extract manufacturer 128 may be the same entity. The communications network 130 as described herein may be wired and/or a wireless network. If the communications network 130 is wireless, the communications network 130 may be implemented using communication techniques such as Visible Light

Communication (VLC), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Infrared (IR) communication, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Radio waves, and other communication techniques known in the art The communication network 130 may allow ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable system resources and higher-level services that can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over Interet and relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, like a public utility, while third-party clouds 132 enable organizations to focus on their core businesses instead of expending resources on computer infrastructure and maintenance.

[0027] As described above, the beverage server 110 comprises an extract database 116 having parameters stored thereon that indicate the appropriate beverage 126 and encapsulation device 102 to use with the extract Similarly, the encapsulation database 118 can include parameters that indicate the appropriate beverage 126 and cannabis extract 104 to use with a selected encapsulation device 102. The matching algorithm 120 stored on the beverage server 110 can match a beverage 126, cannabis extract 104, and an encapsulation device 102 with by comparing the parameters stored on the corresponding databases. For example, when accessed by an extract manufacturer, the matching algorithm 120 can be used to match an encapsulation device 102 and a cannabis extract 104 with the beverage 126 for which the cannabis extract 104 and encapsulation device 102 are most suited. In the alternative, when accessed by a beverage manufacturer, the matching algorithm 120 can be used to match a beverage 126 with a encapsulation device 102 and cannabis extract 104 most suited for that beverage 126.

[0028] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method 200 for infusing a cannabis extract into a beverage using an encapsulation device 102. One skilled in the art will appreciate that, for this and other processes and methods disclosed herein, the functions performed in the processes and methods may be implemented in differing order. Furthermore, the outlined steps and operations are only provided as examples, and some of the steps and operations may be optional, combined into fewer steps and operations, or expanded into additional steps and operations without detracting from the essence of the disclosed embodiments.

[0029] Specifically, FIG. 2 illustrates a method 200 for using an encapsulation device 102 such as that described in FIG. 1 to infuse a beverage 126 with a cannabis extract 104. The method can begin at block 210, where an encapsulation device 102 holds or otherwise maintains a separation between a cannabis extract 104 and a liquid beverage 126 or container thereof. The cannabis extract 104 can be stored such that the active components 106 are not subject to degradation. At block 220, the encapsulation device 102 having the cannabis extract 104 is coupled to a beverage container 124. As described above, the coupling can be either permanent or removable, based on the beverage container 124 and the desired design. The beverage container 124 can be filled with a desired beverage 126 and sealed until a consumer is ready to drink the beverage. The encapsulation device 102 can prevent the cannabis extract 104 from coming into contact with the beverage 126 until the consumer is ready to drink the beverage. At block 230, the encapsulation device 102 can be breached by the consumer immediately prior to consumption of the beverage 126. At block 240, the cannabis extract 104 is released from the encapsulation device 102 and dissolved into the beverage 126. [0030] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method 300 for formulating a cannabis extract 104 for infusing a beverage 126. The method 300 can begin at block 310 where a cannabis biomass is prepared for decarboxylation, of one or more cannabinoids. At block 320, one or more cannabinoids are extracted from the decarboxylated biomass. In at least one example, a first cannabinoid, such as THC, is extracted; then a second cannabinoid, such as CBD, is extracted. The method 300 can repeat step 320 until a number N of cannabinoids, or other phytochemicals, including those described in detail above, are extracted from the biomass creating the active compounds 106 to be used in formulating the cannabis extract 104. In at least some examples, the cannabinoids can be decarboxylated in the biomass prior to extraction. In the alternative; the cannabinoids can be decarboxylated after extraction. At block 330, each of the extracted cannabinoids are formulated using one or more of the additional components 108 described with respect to FIG. 1. In at least one example, the one or more cannabinoids can be formulated using a water-soluble excipient, as described above. Any number of additional components 106 may be added to the active components 106 in order to achieve the desired formulated cannabis extract 104. At block 340, the formulated cannabis extract 104 can be subject to additional downstream processing to complete the formulation process.

[0031] An exemplary list of parameters correlating to each of various beverages stored on the beverage database 114 is provided as Table 1.

Table 1

As indicated, the beverage database 114 as described above can contain details corresponding to each of several types of beverages 126 which can be infused with a cannabis extract 104 in accordance with the methods and systems disclosed herein. Specifically, each of the associated beverage parameters can be used by the matching algorithm 120 of the beverage server 110 that allows the beverage to be matched with a cannabis extract and an encapsulation device.

[0032] An exemplary list of parameters associated with various cannabis extracts as stored on the extract database 116 is provided as Table 2.

Table 2

As indicated in Table2, the extract database 116 can include various cannabis extracts and associated parameters that can assist the matching algorithm 126 match the cannabis extracts 104 with a corresponding beverage 126 and encapsulation device 102.

[0033] An exemplary list of encapsulation devices and related parameters which can be stored on the encapsulation database 118 is provided as Table 3.

Table 3

As illustrated in Table 3, the encapsulation database 118 can indude various encapsulation devices configured to contain a cannabis extract The matching algorithm 120 as described with respect to FIG. 1 can evaluate parameters assodated with each of the encapsulation devices to determine an ideal cannabis extract match.

[0034] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method 400 for customized matching of cannabis extracts 104 to infuse a beverage. Method 400 may be based on execution of a matching algorithm 120. More spedfically, method 400 may match a cannabis extract 104, an encapsulation device 102, and a beverage 126 in accordance with the matching algorithm 120 stored on the beverage server 110.

[0035] The method 400 can begin at block 410, where the beverage server 110 receives a match request. At block 420, the beverage server 110 determines whether the match request originated from a beverage manufacturer or extract manufacturer. If the match request was received from a beverage manufacturer, then the method 400 can proceed to block 430. At block 430, the matching algorithm 120 can look up beverage parameters stored on the beverage database 114 which correlate to a beverage 126 produced by the beverage manufacturer. At block 440, the matching algorithm 120 use the parameters obtained from the beverage database 114 to determine a cannabis extract having parameters which best match the beveragel26. In at least one example, the best match can be determined based on parameter match including one or more of color similarity, solubility of the cannabis extract within the beverage, taste profile similarity, pH, and combinations thereof. Once the match is obtained, the method 400 can proceed to block 470. [0036] In the alternative, if at block 420 determines that the match request was received from an extract manufacturer, then the method 400 can proceed to block 450. At block 450, the matching algorithm 120 can look up extract parameters stored on the extract database 116 which correlate to a cannabis extract 104 produced by the extract manufacturer. At block 460, the matching algorithm 120 can search the beverage database to determine the closest matching beverage for the cannabis extract 104. As described above, the best match can be determined based on one or more of the parameters of the cannabis extract and the beverage. Once a match is obtained, the method 400 can proceed to block 470.

[0037] At block 470, the matching algorithm 120 can search the encapsulation database 118 for a plurality of parameters corresponding to an encapsulation device 102 which is compatible with the matched cannabis extract 104 and beverage 126 determined above. At block 480, the matching algorithm 120 can transmit the match results inducting the cannabis extract, the beverage, and the encapsulation device to the match requester.

[0038] While the method 400 for matching a cannabis extract and a beverage with an encapsulation device indicates the initial match request is received from either a beverage manufacturer or an extract manufacturer it should be recognized that the request could originate from anyone. For example, the encapsulation devices having a cannabis extract stored therein can be obtained prior to being coupled with a beverage container. In said example, a consumer could use the matching algorithm to determine the desired cannabis extract for a beverage they wish to infuse, or vice versa. The encapsulation device can then be obtained by the consumer, having the cannabis extract stored therein, and infused with the consumer's desired beverage.

[0039] The foregoing detailed description of the technology has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the technology to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The described embodiments were chosen in order to best explain the principles of the technology, its practical application, and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the technology in various embodiments and with various modifications are suited to the particular use contemplated.
