1. A method of incorporating a cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition in particular foods and food additives, comprising:
(a) mixing non-ionic surfactants with cannabinoid oils and lipids in a mixing vessel wherein the non-ionic surfactants, cannabinoid oils, and lipids, respectively, are mixed in proportions of 5.9:9 by weight of a total formula weight of the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition;
(b) processing the mixture made in step (a) using sonication for a predetermined time at a predetermined amplification until completely processed and substantially all of the cannabinoid oils are reduced to nanoparticle size in a cannabinoid oil complex (COC);
(c) dissolving ascorbic acid in a carrier fluid to make an acidic carrier fluid solution, wherein the ascorbic acid is in a relative amount of 0.01-3% by weight of the total formula weight of the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition;
(d) mixing the COC made in steps (a) and (b) with the acidic carrier fluid solution made in step (c);
(e) sonicating the mixture made in step (d) using an ultrasonic liquid processor operated at a predetermined amplitude for a predetermined time at a controlled temperature until substantially all of the cannabinoid oils in step (d) are returned to nanoparticle size to complete the process of making the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition;
(f) combining the cannabinoid nanoparticle carrier composition with a consumable particulate food product or food additive selected from the group consisting of herbs and spices, flavorings, seasonings, salts, sugars, and particular food preservatives, or any combination thereof;
(g) blending the combination made in step (f) to make a slurry or suspension;
(h) drying the slurry or suspension is evaporated or dried to a solid state; and
(i) reducing the dried product to a nominal particle mass size suitable for human consumption.
