Professors M. Lefsrud, V. Raghavan and V. Orsat, Bioresource Engineering, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, McGill University.Our first project involves horticultural research and cannabis production, in collaboration with McGill University professor.
Breeding for powdery mildew resistance in Cannabis sativa: Strategies for improving resistance.
Professor S. Jabaji, Plant Sciences, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, McGill University.Our second project focuses on plant breeding for resistance to powdery mildew in cannabis, in collaboration with McGill University professor Suha Jabaji. A…
Cannabis chemistry, post-harvest processing methods and secondary metabolite profiling: A review
Differences in cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) plant chemistry between strains are influenced by genetics, plant growth and development, and environmental conditions such as abiotic and biotic stress.The resulting secondary metabolite profiles are further…
Cold ethanol extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis using response surface methodology: optimization and comparative study
Using response surface methodology, the optimum conditions predicted at different extraction temperatures were a cannabis/ethanol ratio of 1:15 and an extraction time of 10 minutes.Using response surface methodology, the optimum conditions predicted for…
Optimization of wiped-film short-path molecular distillation for cannabinoid recovery from cannabis oil using response surface methodology
This is a two-cut process, where the terpenes and cannabinoids are distilled in the first and second cuts respectively.In this experiment, the effects of distillation parameters in the second cut and the internal condensation temperature (60-90°C), were…
