Table 4.3. A comparison of the cannabinoid profile and content of fresh cannabis floral
material (clone G1 M3) and sieved trichome filtrates made there from. One sample of
each fraction was produced.
Analyses show mean analytical results of four
subsamples (±SD). Also shown is the cannabinoid content of the floral material before
trichome extraction and the spent pulp after extraction. 90
Table 4.4. The relative proportions of CBC and THC in sessile trichome rich preparations
made by sieving dislodged trichomes from vegetative foliage of high-THC clone G1 M3.
93
Table 4.5. The proportions of principal cannabinoids (±SD) found in a trichome-rich
filtrate clone M240, containing only sessile trichomes. One bulk sample was prepared
and four sub-samples analysed. Also shown is the purity of the CBC (expressed as a
%w/w of total cannabinoids detected) within the foliage from which these trichomes were
collected. 94
Table 4.6. The terpene profile of essential oils produced by steam distillation of glandular
trichomes extracted from high-THC clone G2 M6 at various stages in the plant’s
development. The results are the relative peak area after analysis of the essential oil by
GC. Missing values occur where individual terpene contents were below the detectable
limits. 96
Table 4.7. The terpene profile of essential oils produced by steam distillation of glandular
trichomes extracted from high-CBD clone G5 M13 at various stages in the plants
development. The results are the relative peak area after analysis of the essential oil by
GC. Missing values occur where individual terpene contents were below the detectable
limits. 97
Table 4.8. The cannabinoid profile of the original plant material (high-THC clone G2 M6)
from which the trichome rich preparations were made. Six subsamples were combined
and milled to produce one sample for analysis by GC. A missing value denotes that
cannabinoid level was below the detectable threshold. 98
