2019 Hemp Research
Publish Date: October 15, 2019
Study Results: Finola had high levels of terpenes β-ocimene and α-terpinolene.
Futura 75 had high levels of terpenes α- and ß-pinene and extremely high levels of myrcene.
Both hemp strains were high in trans-caryophyllene and α-humulene.
THC levels in both strains were less than 0.1%
Finola had 2.3% CBDA.
Futura had 2.7% CBDA.
Futura 75 had twice as much CBGA as the Finola strain.
Our Summary: Both Futura 75 and Finola are strains of industrial hemp.
Finola is the first oilseed variety recognized by Canada and the European Union.
Futura 75 is a hemp strain developed in France.
For the purpose of this study, each hemp strain was grown in the Italian Alps at an altitude of roughly 3400 ft above sea level.
Phytochemical content was tested by multiple analytical approaches including:
- HPLC-high-resolution mass spectrometry
- SDS-PAGE LC-MS/MS
- HS-SPME GC-MS
- GC-FID
