Studying the chemistry of cannabis: cannabinoid extraction methods

In this incredible audiobook, we invite you to learn about the different methods of extraction and analysis of the main cannabinoids for the use of derivatives in the cannabis industry.

Currently, about 113 compounds have been isolated from the Cannabis sativa species, among the most important are tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These phytocannabinoids are mostly present in the form of carboxylic acids and are located in the trichomes of this plant.

To identify and characterize the chemical molecules present in cannabis, it is important to know how to select the most appropriate extraction method. This technique depends on parameters such as temperature, agitation speed, process time, particle size, and distribution to achieve the concentration of the different cannabinoids. Likewise, it is necessary to implement an analytical system for the determination of cannabinoids, thus increasing the reliability of the efficacy of the formulated products, whether for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, gastronomic, or textile industry.

If you are interested in learning more about the latest techniques for the extraction and analysis of phytocannabinoids, we invite you to listen to this audiobook brought to you by Pharmacology University.
