As PrimalSoup mentioned, I would assume it would be preferable to add (for instance) lemon juice to hinder unnecessary oxidation of psilocin and/or conversion of psilocybin to psilocin(most likely with enzymatic catalyzation). But adding too much could in theory increase the conversion of psilocin to 'cybin by reducing the pH as well. It seems to be the consensus that psilocybin is quite stable in room temperature and oxygen rich environments, whereas psilocin is not. While I am very interested in the results of this experiment, I would assume that the storage potential of these capsules would be limited unless a high percentage of psilocybin has been protected from degradation. Long extraction times and complete "drying" of the tea could accelerate this process. Keeping the solution aqueous(as a tea/with water), also seems to accelerate the degradation(possibly due to enzymes in the solution). Why not reduce the extraction time by for instance boiling for 10 minutes with as little water as possible? Then instead of reducing to dryness, stop short at a (very) concentrated tea and dissolve this in ethanol(e.g everclear) to hinder further breakdown of the alkaloids? Ethanol seems to be the best solution for storing the actives on a long term level based on several user reports here on the shroomery. I seem to remember RR claiming to have tested a solution after several years with no loss of potency(Although this was extracted with ethanol as well). Maybe this defeats the purpose of the capsules, but using oil seems a bit counter intuitive when psilocybin shouldn't even be able to dissolve in it. Uneven distribution of dried suspended(not dissolved) could be a major problem for instance. A highly concentrated alcohol solution could be concentrated to 1ml/1gram and maybe even fitted into a capsule? Blending in with a little honey would perhaps also protect against breakdown? Im sure oil would provide the same protection, but as you understand I am a bit worried about the solubility. Edited by callemann (06/04/14 05:31 AM)
