Introduction Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis) is valued for its flowers, which are rich in bioactive compounds that impart medicinal and sensory properties. A common-practice during plant cultivation is the supplementation of fertilisers with biostimulants, which enhance growth and yield. Previous studies on tomato, strawberry, capsicum, and cannabis (grown for seed) have demonstrated that biostimulants containing fi…
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disorder caused by oxidative stress and dysregulation of lipid metabolism. The endocannabinoid system (ECS), particularly the type 1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptor, plays a crucial role in NAFLD progression. Cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), along with terpenes, such as beta-myrcene and d-limonene, have shown p…
Aroma is a critical factor in consumer-perceived quality of Cannabis sativa L., yet standardized tools for describing the aromatic diversity of uncombusted Cannabis inflorescence are lacking. This study generated and evaluated a descriptive aroma lexicon for intact Cannabis inflorescence consisting of 25 terms with defined reference standards. A human panel evaluated 91 samples using a Check-All-That-Apply method.…
Background: Skin diseases of inflammatory origin, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne, have a substantial prevalence in the world population. Natural products are particularly important at a topical level. Essential oils are examples of natural products and thyme in particular has been used for medicinal purposes due to its biological properties. Objectives: The aim of present work was to study the anti-…
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) alters the gaseous composition of air surrounding packaged goods to prevent deleterious oxidation associated reactions. MAP has been adopted for the storage of cannabis, though a recent study revealed little difference in terpene content under MAP conditions. Questions regarding its efficacy for preservation of high value compounds like terpenes and cannabinoids lost during post…
Cannabis-infused product manufacturers often add terpenes to enhance flavor. Meanwhile, labeling requirements for these same products necessitate testing for residual solvent levels. We have found that heating terpene samples containing an oxygen or air atmosphere results in the detection of significantly higher levels of acetone when compared to the same compound in argon atmosphere using temperature regimes comm…
Previous chemotaxonomic studies of cannabis only focused on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) dominant strains while excluded the cannabidiol (CBD) dominant strains and intermediate strains (THC ≈ CBD). This study investigated the utility of the full spectrum of secondary metabolites in different plant parts in three cannabis chemotypes (THC dominant, intermediate, and CBD dominant) for chemotaxonomic discrimination. Hie…
Background The taxonomic classification of Cannabis genus has been delineated through three main types: sativa (tall and less branched plant with long and narrow leaves), indica (short and highly branched plant with broader leaves) and ruderalis (heirloom type with short stature, less branching and small thick leaves). While still under discussion, particularly whether the genus is polytypic or monotypic, this bro…
BackgroundThe taxonomic classification of the Cannabis genus has been delineated through three main types: sativa (long and less branched plant with long and narrow leaves), indica (short but highly branched plant with broader leaves) and ruderalis (wild type with short stature, less branching and small thick leaves). While still under discussion, particularly whether the genus is polytypic or monotypic, this broa…
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a multifunctional crop that is capable of prompt environmental adaptation. In this study, a monoecious cultivar (Futura 75) and a dioecious one (Finola) were tested in a mountain area in Valsaviore (Rhaetian Alps, Italy; elevation: 1,100 m a.s.l.) during the growing season 2018. Phytochemical behavior was evaluated by different analytical approaches: HPLC-high-resolution mass spectrome…
