On October 22, Nicholas Tibollo with The Niagara Independent wrote about NC’s Cannabis Edibles Applied Research initiative, opening the article with, “Once again leading the way in real-world innovation in the food and beverage industry, Niagara College has launched an applied research project to study the safe and reliable development of edible cannabis products.”
Through the project, experts at NC’s Canadian Food and Wine Institute (CFWI) Innovation Centre will engage industry in applied research and development, including the infusion and dispersion of active ingredients like CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol – the key psychoactive component in cannabis), for food and beverages containing cannabinoids such as gummies, chocolate, hard candy, baked goods, and non-alcoholic beverages like tea.
The article includes comments from Marc Nantel, NC’s Vice-President of Research & External Relations, CFWI Innovation Centre staff and an industry partner from Dolled Up Desserts, a Hamilton-based bakery.
