Using GC/MS: Method Development, Validation, and Application>, Reference of 78-70-6, the main research area is terpene Cannabis sativa gas chromatog mass spectrometry.
Terpenes are the major components of the essential oils present in various Cannabis sativaL. varieties. These compounds are responsible for the distinctive aromas and flavors. Besides the quantification of the cannabinoids, determination of the terpenes in C. sativastrains could be of importance for the plant selection process. At the University of Mississippi, a GC-MS method has been developed and validated for the quantification of terpenes in cannabis plant material, viz., α-pinene, β-pinene, β-myrcene, limonene, terpinolene, linalool, α-terpineol, β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, and caryophyllene oxide. The method was optimized and fully validated according to AOAC (Association of Official Anal. Chemists) guidelines against reference standards of selected terpenes. Samples were prepared by extraction of the plant material with Et acetate containing n-tridecane solution (100μg/mL) as the internal standard The concentration-response relationship for all analyzed terpenes using the developed method was linear with r 2values > 0.99. The average recoveries for all terpenes in spiked indoor cultivated samples were between 95.0 – 105.7%, with the exception of terpinolene (67 – 70%). The measured repeatability and intermediate precisions (% relative standard deviation) in all varieties ranged from 0.32 to 8.47%. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation for all targeted terpenes were determined to be 0.25 and 0.75μg/mL, resp. The proposed method is highly selective, reliable, and accurate and has been applied to the simultaneous determination of these major terpenes in the C. sativabiomass produced by our facility at the University of Mississippi as well as in confiscated marijuana samples.
