“Ever since the chemical structures of major phytocannabinoids, such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), were elucidated, the majority of research has focused primarily on these compounds, often overlooking the other ~160 minor cannabinoids identified in Cannabis sativa to date. However, in recent years, these previously understudied cannabinoids have garnered increasing scientific attention due to advancements in highly sensitive analytical techniques that enable their detection in plant matrices.
Moreover, early-stage clinical trials have demonstrated that several minor cannabinoids exhibit promising therapeutic potential.
This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of recent developments in the extraction, analysis, and potential applications of selected minor phytocannabinoids, with the goal of facilitating future research in this field. A thorough analysis of the latest data has been conducted to offer a detailed overview of current extraction and quantification methodologies for minor cannabinoids.”
