Marijuana, Plant Chemistry, Terpenes, Volatile Sulfur Compounds, Cannabis Industry, What Pungent Weed Smells Like & Why | Iain Oswald | #114
Nick talks to Dr. Iain Oswald, who has a PhD in chemistry from the University of Texas-Dallas and is principal scientist Abstrax Tech, a cannabis research and product development company. He is an expert in using cutting edge analytical chemistry techniques to study plant chemistry and has done a lot of work to decipher the chemistry of commercial cannabis, including lesser-known compounds found in the essential oils of marijuana plants and how these relate the sensory qualities of marijuana.
They discuss: the aroma of cannabis & the chemical compounds that dictate different aspects of its aroma; consumer preferences when it comes to marijuana aroma; terpenes, which are volatile compounds abundant in the plant world; his research on volatile sulfur compounds, which are found in nature in things like garlic and the aerosols produced by skunks, and how lesser-known cannabis compounds in this chemical family relate to some of the pungent, gassy/skunky odors commonly associated with marijuana; his journey from academia into the private sector, and what’s on the horizon for cannabis research.

Customer Reviews
Favorite
One of my go to podcasts. I always learn something with his quality guests. He also makes sure to rephrase and/or have his guests explain the more technical or hard to grasp ideas so that the information is more easily absorbed. Great teaching skills. Much appreciated!
informative and easily digestible
the topics covered can be complex in nature, but Nick asks appropriate clarifying questions and summarizes points in a way that aids with clarity for the listener. thanks for all the work you do, the consistency of your episodes, and all of the new knowledge nuggets!
Awesome!
One of my new fav podcasts!
