Essential Oils and Their Constituents: Xxix. The Essential Oil of Marihuana: Composition of Genuine Indian Cannabis Sativa L.

Abstract

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of freshly harvested Indian Cannabis sativa L. \vas found to contain the following constituents that have not previously been reported: or

Cannabis sativa: volatile compounds from pollen and entire male and female plants of two variants, Northern Lights and Hawaian Indica

“…These results agree with those of Nigam et al ., (1965) who found the first two plus α‐selinene as major compounds in the essential oil distillates of an Indian variety of C. sativa . The most complete compilation of Cannabis essential oil components was presented by Turner et al .…”

“…1, Scheme 1) indicate that the variance is mainly of a quantitative nature apart from the specific pollen volatiles. Nigam et al . (1965) found that the essential oil compositions from male and female were ‘almost identical’.…”

Multidimensional analysis of cannabis volatile constituents: Identification of 5,5-dimethyl-1-vinylbicyclo[2.1.1]hexane as a volatile marker of hashish, the resin of Cannabis sativa L.

“…In comparison with cannabinoid derivatives, the volatile constituents of cannabis have received much less attention. Nevertheless, the chemical composition of the volatile fraction of cannabis derived products is well documented and has been mainly established through the analysis of their essential oils [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] or by means of headspace sampling techniques [25][26][27][28][29]. Hence, a large variety of volatile compounds representing all chemical classes (hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, esters) have been detected in cannabis samples [20].…”
