A solvent-free method to extract THCA from cannabis, said method comprising: providing a source of THCA-containing cannabis plant; providing a source of natural oil; combining said source of THCA-containing cannabis and said source of natural oil into a blend; milling said blend; optionally, heating the blend during the milling; and extracting a THCA-containing liquid generated during the milling.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a monoglyceride hydrate product, which product may be used as an emulsifier in various food and non-food applications. The present invention further relates to the monoglyceride hydrate product obtainable by said method. The invention further relates to a monoglyceride hydrate product, comprising monoglycerides, with saturated fatty acid residues, water and non-hydrogenated monoglycerides and/or diglycerides having unsaturated fatty acid residues.

The disclosure relates to a method of making a beverage comprising a milk protein concentrate (MPC), a beverage comprising an MPC, an MPC or use of a MPC. More particularly, this disclosure relates to treatment of an MPC to allow for heat homogenisation of a beverage containing the MPC, while reducing occurrence of malodour and/or egg-type or sulphur-type smell and/or taste.

Plant-based nutritional compositions comprise fava bean protein isolate and pea protein. The fava bean protein isolate comprises greater than about 10 wt % of the total protein in the composition, and the pea protein comprises less than about 50 wt % of the total protein in the composition. In certain embodiments, the nutritional compositions are high in protein, high in fiber, and low in calories. The compositions may be dairy-free and/or soy-free.

The present invention is a method and apparatus for the infusion of cannabinoids into a shelf-stable food composition. The composition contains a combination of two or more lipid-based oils with the addition of an emulsifier. The combination of oils presents a composition rich in varied length triglycerides which aids in the process of infusing lipophilic plant compounds (e.g. cannabinoids) into lipid-based foods. The unique varied triglyceride makeup of the present invention increases bioavailability of cannabinoids upon consumption. The core components of the invention are an oil rich in fat such as coconut oil, clarified butter, and an emulsifying agent such as lecithin, which, generally speaking, are configured as follows: an oil rich in saturated fats such as coconut oil is combined with a second oil rich in saturated fats such as clarified butter, and an emulsifying agent such as lecithin. The components are mixed until well blended.

Method for enhancing a food item by apply a hypoallergenic, plant-based vegan dressing by combining water with a hypoallergenic-substrate, and at least one or more of sunflower seed butter and/or coconut cream. The resulting dressing is then subjected to a preservation process. In an alternative method, the resulting dressing is also inoculated in order to reduce its pH.

A nutritional supplement containing fish oil and selenium has been identified that reduces angiogenesis and/or stem cell content of tumors. A formulation for such a supplement that is both well tolerated and palatable is also provided.
