Analysis of Pesticides and Mycotoxins in Edibles

Author(s)Restek

It is critically important to test if pesticides and mycotoxins are present in cannabis and cannabis products. Join Dr. Nathaly Reyes as she shares a workflow for the analysis of these compounds in edibles.

Government regulations in California require the cannabis industry to test edible products for an extensive list of pesticides and mycotoxins. Here, an effective workflow for this complex analysis was developed in brownies, and optimization strategies are detailed to provide a starting point for similar matrices. Both LC–MS/MS and GC–MS/MS were used and excellent results for LOQ, linearity, accuracy, and precision were attained for all the target compounds.

Key Learning Objectives:

Describe an effective method for analysis of pesticides and mycotoxins in edibles
Discuss different key aspects to take into consideration during method development
Learn how this workflow can be expanded to similar matrices

Speaker: Dr. Nathaly Reyes-Garcés, Application Scientist, Restek Corporation

Manipulating Cannabis Genetics: Pulling Levers to Increase  Phytochemical Composition
Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
