Azuca on Tuesday introduced RTD ACTiVATOR for beverages. The announcement comes shortly after Azuca released its Whole-Plant ACTiVATOR, marking milestone for the evolving ingestibles market.
“As cannabis-infused beverages continue to gain popularity, Azuca recognized the need for a fast-acting solution that enhances consumers’ experience while also addressing the challenges faced by manufacturers to deliver high-quality, shelf-stable products that deliver on potency claims,” said Kim Sanchez Rael, CEO and Co-founder, Azuca. “We’re dedicated to setting the standard for speed, precision, taste, and overall excellence in the ingestibles marketplace.”
RTD ACTiVATOR is an uninfused precursor that empowers beverage manufacturers to create cannabis-infused drinks with fast-acting sensory onset and consistent potency, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable consumer experience. The innovative product offers advanced potency protection—with shelf stability that outperforms nano competitors by up to 20%, according to the company.
While nano-emulsifications have been the standard for cannabis beverages in the past, TiME INFUSION uses a process that solves cannabinoid shelf-stability problems. Additional benefits include:
- A process that can be incorporated into existing manufacturing processes with ease. The scalable system doesn’t require Azuca staff to be on site for production. RTD ACTiVATOR uses the same low-footprint equipment as all TiME INFUSION products.
- Unlike traditional edibles, all TiME INFUSION products also allow for greater Delta-9-THC absorption and a euphoric smokers-high. The predictable experience provides consumers with fast onset and offset technology with sensory effects kicking in at 5-15 minutes
Azuca's TiME INFUSION encapsulates individual cannabinoid molecules and makes them water-friendly, enabling faster uptake. Azuca specializes in expert product development and can work with numerous ingredient applications, including a seamless integration formulation for fast-acting gummies, syrups, beverages and chocolate. For example, Whole-Plant ACTiVATOR delivers whole-spectrum, strain specific edibles with no need for extraction.
