The invention comprises a method and apparatus for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: (1) forming a nootropic emulsion comprising a nootropic, an emulsifier, and water, the nootropic including at least one of: Psilocybe, Cubensis; and Panaeolus (Copelandia); (2) subjecting the nootropic emulsion to shear forces exceeding 50,000 sec.sup.−1 in a high pressure emulsifier; and (3) amending the food product with the nootropic emulsion to form a nootropic amended food product with the optional step of receiving the food product from a first state of the United States of America where at least one nootropic component and/or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the nootropic emulsion is illegal in food, the step of amending adding the nootropic and/or the THC to the food product being legal in a second state where the at least one nootropic component and/or the THC is added to the food product.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: receiving into a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) licensed facility the food product from a geographic area outside of the THC licensed facility; subjecting a THC emulsion to shear forces exceeding 250,000 sec.sup.−1 in a high pressure emulsifier positioned inside the THC licensed facility; and spraying, with a sprayer, the THC emulsion onto the food product to form a THC amended food product.

The present invention relates to a stabilized starch obtained by reacting under alkaline conditions a base starch having a protein content of less than 0.4% w/w with a reactant capable of forming active chlorine, wherein the reactant is used in an amount sufficient to provide between 4000 and 8200 ppm of active chlorine during the stabilization reaction.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for infusing a product component, comprising the steps of: placing the product component into a container; positioning into the product component an expansion agent, the expansion agent comprising at least one of a liquid form and a solid form; pressure sealing the container; forming, through a phase change of the expansion agent, gas bubbles of the expansion agent in the product component; and forming a gas phase propellant of the expansion agent in the container, where the product component is permeated with the expansion agent, such as where the product component is a cream, fat, dairy product, and/or milk substitute.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for packaging a dispensable substance, including the steps of: placing a first product component into a container; adding a second product component into the container at an initial pressure of less than 1.31 atm, the container comprising a valve dispensing port; sealing the container; and increasing pressure in the container through a phase change of the second product component to a final pressure in the container, the final pressure at least 0.26 atm greater than the initial pressure. Optionally, the second product component warms in the container at least ten degrees Celsius and undergoes a phase change from a solid or liquid to a gas, which increases pressure in the container and functions as a propellant and/or as an expansion agent.

The invention comprises a method for packaging a dispensable substance, such as a food product, whipped cream, a hydrocarbon, or an air freshener, the method comprising the steps of: placing a first product component into a container, the container comprising a valve dispensing port; adding a second product component into the container, the second product component comprising at least one of: (1) a solid form of the second product component and (2) a liquid form of the second product component; sealing the container; and warming, after the step of sealing, the second product component in the container at least ten degrees Celsius, where the step of warming results in a phase change of all of the second product component into a gas phase, at least a portion of the gas phase of the second product component dissolving into the first product component to form the dispensable substance.
