Potency and Color

In summary, there seems to be little relationship between potency and color, since each variety of marijuana contains plants with high, medium and low content of both THC and CBD.

In recent years, metallo-chlorophylls and metaUo-chlorophyllins have been considered alternatives to their natural chlorophyll counterparts due to their enhanced color potency, and greater stability against moderate heat, dilute acids, and oxidative agents in general, not to mention their alleged biological activities. 

Anthocyanins are a class of flavonoids separated from proanthocyani-dins. Anthocyanins have been known to be highly protective and therapeutic against especially age-related diseases such as hypertension, cardiac infraction and cerebral infarction. Additionally, because the colors of anthocyanins could help to ease psychic and physical troubles or tiredness, the anthocyanins could not only relax us, but also the colors themselves could prevent and remedy many diseases, especially, age-related diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, stroke and diabetes. Generally, anthocyanins have antioxidant properties, which could protect and enhance our body systems with bioactive abilities such as the immuno-, anticancer-, antimicrobial potencies and others. 

It should be noted that the commercial enzyme-preparations developed for the syrups of this type have several attributes (in addition to their catalytic effects) which are of extreme importance to the syrup technology. First, they are of high potency, so that relatively small quantities are needed per unit weight of substrate treated. As a result, it is relatively easy to remove the small amounts of extraneous flavor and color-forming substances that usually accompany commercial en-...

FIGURE 8.14 Illustration of Pareto optimal compounds for two-dimensional optimization of potency (pICj ) and permeability (MDCK P ). Each point represents the potency and permeability of a compound. The ideal compound would have both high potency and permeability as represented by the gold star. The red points, for example the point labeled X, are Pareto optimal, that is, there are no compounds better in both properties. The point labeled Y is not Pareto optimal, the point discussed earlier and to the right is better in both properties. The Pareto optimal compounds define the Pareto front, shown by the red line. For color details, please see color plate section. 

A radioisotope dilution assay and an assay based on animal growth are the most reliable methods for the determination of vitamin B12 activity. The tracer technique is highly specific for cyanocobalamin or analogs which are convertible to cyanocobalamin. The assay is specific for cyanocobalamin if cyanide treatment of the sample is avoided total cobalamins convertible to cyanocobalamin are determined if a given sample is first treated with cyanide. The method consists in the addition of a known amount of pure [ Co]-cyanocobalamin. A series of selective extractions and adsorptions to remove interfering substances is completed and the radioactivity and color of the purified sample are measured. From these data, it is possible to calculate the amount of cobalamin present in the original sample. The isotope dilution method is accurate and precise and can be used for both relatively pure samples and for crude extracts of low potency. 

Fig. 1.16 Network-like similarity graph (NSG) depicting the CS and activity relationships of a set of lipoxygenase inhibitors taken from the work of Wawer et al. [170], Compound potencies are color coded as shown by the colored bar on the upper left hand side of the figure, red being the most active and green being the least active. Compounds are connected by an edge if the MACCS Tanimoto similarity value of a given compound pair exceeds 0.65. The decimal numbers associated with clusters of compounds correspond to SAR Index scores (See text for additional details)...

The intensity of the absorption of microwave energy is a measure the abundance of that isotope. The potency of the NMR spectroscopy is not only its ability to quantify the concentration of an isotope, but to check the enviromnent into which an isotope is embedded. This is possible because the magnetic resonance and thus the absorption frequency prove to be sensitive to the spins of neighboring atoms and to structural features of the probe. Therefore, NMR spectroscopy is more a tool for scientific structural analyses than for daily food (colorant) inspection. For a detailed study of the NMR techniques used in food science we recommend books by Macomber and Pochapsky. - ...
