APPARATUS FOR BOTANICAL COMPOUND INFUSION AND HYDRODYNAMIC PRODUCTION OF NANO SCALE BIO-REACTIVE PARTICLES

Smart overview of the Invention

Overview: The apparatus is designed for the infusion of organic or botanical compounds and the production of nanoscale bio-reactive particles using hydrodynamic processes. It enhances the stability and bioavailability of concentrates through a chemically inert infusion chamber, a hydrodynamic conduit for laminar flow, and a precision flow control system. A proprietary formulation is used to prevent particle aggregation and optimize dispersion, resulting in stable, highly bioavailable emulsions. The system is applicable across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, beverages, functional foods, cosmetics, and veterinary applications, enabling enhanced drug delivery and nutrient-enriched products.

Field of Use and Background: The device addresses challenges in concentrate production, specifically maintaining stability and bioavailability during infusion. Conventional methods often result in low-bioavailability masses due to particle sequestration when exposed to polar solvents. This invention overcomes these issues with proprietary formulations and specific hardware configurations. The development process involved multiple iterations to optimize nano-sizing, stabilization, and cost-effectiveness, ultimately achieving the desired performance level.

Technical Description: The invention utilizes hydrodynamic principles to produce stable emulsions with nanoscale particles. The infusion chamber induces hydrodynamics, reducing the time for particles to form and increasing bioavailability through nano-sizing, which enhances surface area and absorbability. The device ensures laminar flow, reducing pressure and interactions between water molecules and conduit walls, minimizing eddy currents and promoting stable flow. This coherent stream facilitates rapid compound dispersion, reducing particle formation time.

Key Components: The apparatus features a chemically inert infusion chamber and a flow control system with a modulating valve for precise infusion and flushing cycles. An infusant control valve regulates the introduction of compounds, maintaining emulsion consistency and preventing particle aggregation. The process involves mixing organic ingredients with a stabilizing agent, introducing the infusant at a controlled rate, and utilizing hydrodynamic forces to reduce particle size and enhance emulsion stability.

Advantages and Applications: The invention offers enhanced bioavailability and stability, with nanoscale particle formation increasing absorption rates and preventing aggregation over time. Its versatility allows for applications in various industries, such as infusing botanical flavors into beverages, producing bioavailable drug emulsions, and creating stable nano-emulsions for cosmetics. This advancement in concentrate production ensures efficient, scalable, and high-quality bio-reactive emulsions.
