In this work, the concentration of nine [[wikipedia:Cannabinoid|cannabinoid]]s—six neutral cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBC, CBG, CBN, and CBDV) and three acidic cannabinoids (THCA, CBGA, and CBDA)—was used to identify the Italian retailers of ''[[wikipedia:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]'' L. ([[wikipedia:Hemp|hemp]]), reinforcing the idea that the practice of categorizing hemp samples only using THC and CBD is inadequate. A [[high-performance liquid chromatography]][[tandem mass spectrometry]] (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for screening and simultaneously analyzing the nine cannabinoids in 161 hemp samples sold by four retailers located in different Italian cities. The hemp samples dataset was analyzed by [[wikipedia:Univariate analysis|univariate]] and [[wikipedia:Multivariate analysis|multivariate analysis]], with the aim to identify the associated hemp retailers without using any other [[information]] on the hemp samples such as [[wikipedia:Cannabis strains|''Cannabis'' strains]], seeds, soil and cultivation characteristics, geographical origin, product storage, etc. The univariate analysis highlighted that the hemp samples could not be differentiated by using any of the nine cannabinoids analyzed.

"Development and validation of a fast gas chromatography–mass spectrometry method for the determination of cannabinoids in Cannabis sativa L"

A routine method for determining cannabinoids in Cannabis sativa L. inflorescence, based on fast gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (fast GC-MS), was developed and validated. To avoid the decarboxylation of the carboxyl group of cannabinoids, different derivatization approaches—i.e., silylation and esterification (diazomethane-mediated) reagents and solvents (pyridine or ethyl acetate)—were tested. The methylation significantly increased the signal-to-noise ratio of all carboxylic cannabinoids, except for cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). Since diazomethane is not commercially available, is considered a hazardous reactive, and requires one-day synthesis by specialized chemical staff, the process of silylation was used along the entire validation of a routine method. The method gave a fast (total analysis time < 7.0 min) and satisfactory resolution (R > 1.1), with a good repeatability (intraday < 8.38%; interday < 11.10%) and sensitivity (LOD < 11.20 ng/mL).
