When DELIC Labs' CSO, Dr. Markus Roggen, started his career in cannabis chemistry, he wanted access to physical and chemical data on cannabinoids. These key data points would help him build analytical methods and improve extraction protocols. For example, he needed to know the boiling point of THC for distillation, the solubility of CBD in CO2 for extraction, and the molecular weight of CBGA for analytics. But Dr. Roggen quickly realized that this information was not readily available in the usual chemistry handbooks. Instead, it would take hours to meticulously read through the literature, websites, and other reliable sources to find and verify these data points. Additionally, he wasn’t sure which properties were not yet discovered and documented about the plant. Thus, the Cannabis Compound Database was born, where the chemical and physical properties of more than 750 compounds in the cannabis plant are documented and constantly updated with the latest research.
