Lecithin during infusion or after?

I only add lecithin to the recipes I need it like gummies, nerds bites, things that need oil to bind to something. I know some people like it in their butter but I never notice a difference

If you believe in its ability to improve bioavailability, then you'll want to use it during the infusing process (BadKat recipes) if you simply want to use it for its emulsification or homogenization abilities then add as part of the food recipe stage.

Liquid lecithin mixes best for enhancing a straight oil or blending a small amount of water into a greater volume of Oil.

Powder lecithin is best at emulsifying a small amount of oil in a larger volume of water or vinegar.

Do NOT use any form of lecithin in a water / butter extraction as you won't be able to separate it by cooling. It will remain a Jello like consistency and a huge failure.

I always add it into the recipe. I store it without any added.

LECITHIN:

1 Tablespoon per cup of oil/butter, if flavor is interfering 1 teaspoon per cup

You can add it in whenever, either during infusion, in the baking mix or just sprinkling it on whatever you are eating

just dont add it in with water, if you do it will bind the water to the butter/oil which will mess up your infusion

You would only need a lecithin if you need an emulsifier.

If you are making brownies, and the recipe has egg yolks you already have all the emulsifier you need.

You could replace the yolks with just emulsifier, but you would then have to adjust the recipe for the loss of moisture and fat

You add it to infuse with the oil and decarb flower. 1 Tablespoon per cup of oil. I always include it in my oil or butter

I add it to my my mct oil and let it combine together. Once it's warm and combined, I add them to my canna oil and infuse for 40 min at160⁰

Adding lecithin when infusing your oil/butter with cannabis helps blend the ingredients better and may enhance potency. This is good for consistent potency throughout your batch. Adding lecithin directly to your recipe after infusion may be more convenient and can avoid any potential texture or flavor issues.

Ultimately, it depends on personal preference and what works best for your desired results. You could try both methods to see which you prefer.

I add it at the time of baking, for bioavailability. You don't need to infuse it into anything; it will just make a mess and goop things up if it works at all - simply mix into your dry ingredients before adding the wet. It's really that simple.

There is no believe or not believe in bioavailability - it's a real thing. I use about half the plant material for the same efficacy when I add sunflower (not soy) lecithin.

Liposomes loaded with CBD were developed using sunflower lecithin. The size was about 100 nm, and the CBD encapsulation was 20 mg/mL. The stability was assessed after storage at 4 °C for at least 3 months. The activity of the nanoformulation was evaluated in a 4-week randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled study in a spontaneous canine model of osteoarthritis. The study evidenced the efficacy of liposomal CBD (20 mg/day), which demonstrated the same efficacy as a CBD dose of 50 mg/day. Over the 4-week analysis period, the nanoformulation had a good safety profile [58].

OK so I add it in when infusing decarbed bud and coconut oil. Then after infusion is done I add it again for gummies and chocolate bars.
