Introduction
Every cannabinoid starts with CBGA — the “mother molecule.”
During extraction and heating, CBGA converts into cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBC. Understanding these transformations helps formulators control potency and stability.
🧬 The Science of Conversion
| Precursor | Converted To | Process |
|---|---|---|
| CBGA | CBG | Mild heat, enzymatic activity |
| CBDA | CBD | Decarboxylation (~110°C) |
| THCA | THC | Decarboxylation (~120°C) |
Controlled heat curves preserve cannabinoid integrity and reduce unwanted byproducts.
⚗️ Why This Matters for Formulators
Predictable conversion = predictable potency. Manufacturers using consistent heat mapping and validated COAs reduce potency deviation and recall risk.
