Detection and Identification of Compounds in Cannabis

  • Conference paper
Marihuana

Abstract

The discussion in this chapter is restricted to three categories:

  1. 1.

    basic analytical developments applicable to synthetic can-nabinoids and extracts from cannabis preparations;

  2. 2.

    application of electron voltage-mass fragment graphs as a potential tool in identifying cannabinoids and their metabolites in body fluids and fermentation processes;

  3. 3.

    new alkaloids that have been isolated and identified from C. sativa L.
