How much oil (in a gummy recipe) is too much?

Comment deleted by user

I use MCT oil. I use 1/3 cup of water to 1/2 of oil in my gummies. I use powdered sunflower lecithin. Add rhe lecithin to the water and warm gently and wizz with an immersion blender until its frothy then add the oil a portion at a time and keep whizzing. I then add 3oz jello and and 1 oz of powdered gelatine

You should minimize it as much as possible. Not fat or oil really is best. I use a bit of ethanol to dissolve my concentrates in so that I get better dispersion throughout.

If you're concerned about bioavailability without oil then just eat something with a bit of fat in it at the same time. I like to grab a couple pieces of pepperoni.

Any oil is a contaminate in your basic gummy recipe and yes it will fail and be an inedible slimy mess if you use to much. I've watched it happen way to often and always recommend a blank canvas with no cannabis first to see if your planned amount of Oil will still set.

Lecithin as an emulsifier will help mitigate the sweat and improve in general but not being much of a cook your on your own to explore that facet of it. I make a wicked Hash Capsule.

Can you create your own concentrates instead? Solvent extracts are simple if you liked hs science lab. I’ve never encountered a gummie recipe that was complete and accurate with the described results. Do what you can to maximize the potency of the oil you need to use. I’ve seen 10-20% lecithin listed to help with emulsification but didn’t delve enough to sort out what it was 10-20% of (the weight of oil? Volume? Water?).
