Solid-State Microwave Drying for Medical Cannabis Inflorescences: A Rapid and Controlled Alternative to Traditional Drying.

As the medical use of Cannabis is evolving there is a greater demand for high-quality products for patients. One of the main steps in the manufacturing process of medical Cannabis is drying. Most current drying methods in the Cannabis industry are relatively slow and inefficient processes.

Metabolic Profiling of Secondary Metabolites for Evaluation of Optimal Postharvest Storage Conditions.

The therapeutic use of medical is growing, and so is the need for standardized and therapeutically stable products for patients. The therapeutic effects of largely depend on the content of its pharmacologically active secondary metabolites and their interactions, mainly terpenoids and phytocannabinoids. Once harvested and during storage, these natural compounds may decarboxylate, oxidize, isomerize, react photochemically, evaporate and more.
