Abstrax Unveils Cutting-Edge Research on Flavor Compounds in Cannabis: Enhancing Breeding Programs with Deep Analytics
Summary
"Within the cannabis industry, phenohunting – the process of selecting progeny from a cross of two parents – has traditionally been more of an art than a science," said TJ Martin, Vice President of Research at Abstrax. Twinkle Paryani, R&D Laboratory Chemist at Abstrax and the main author of the paper, further elaborated on the significance of these methods: "Chemohunting and chemotyping are revolutionary because they provide the quantitative evidence breeders have long observed anecdotally. This discovery allows breeders to effectively chemohunt for high-TCSC, low-indole phenotypes or vice versa, potentially redefining the teams Exotic Cannabis Aroma Spectrum and offering a new language for consumers who are confused by traditional strain names. The ability to target and enhance specific aroma profiles through advanced chemotyping is an exciting development that aligns with Weedmaps mission to connect consumers with the highest quality cannabis products." Founded in California by a team of award-winning PhD scientists, flavor chemists, and visionary product developers, Abstrax harnesses its three divisions to craft transformative CPG applications via innovative technology and more sustainable, all natural, and cost effective ingredients.
