Discussion

Evaluation reveals significant antioxidant properties in Cannabis sativa, suggesting optimal drying methods enhance health benefits.

Cannabis sativa exhibits notable antioxidant capacity attributed to key compounds like flavonoids and cannabinoids.
TEAC values ranged from 29.5 to 150.2 μmol TE/g DW, indicating variability in antioxidant capacity.
Evaluation used UV-visible spectroscopy and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance methods to assess antioxidant properties.
Selecting the right drying technique, like freeze or air-drying, significantly affects antioxidant retention.

Bartoszek et al. (2025) studied this question.
