Abstract
The disclosure provides systems and methods for producing a cannabinoid product, which comprises contacting a cannabinoid precursor in a first phase with a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase, wherein the first phase and the second phase are substantially immiscible or immiscible. The disclosure also provides a composition comprising the cannabinoid precursor in a first phase and a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase, wherein the first phase and the second phase are substantially immiscible or immiscible.
Claims8
A biphasic composition comprising:
- (a) a cannabinoid precursor in a first phase;
- and
- (b) a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase,
- wherein the first phase comprises an organic solvent and the second phase comprises an aqueous solvent, and wherein the organic solvent comprises olive oil, sesame oil, castor oil, cotton-seed oil, soybean oil, pentane, heptane, octane, isooctane, nonane, decane, or terpene.
A method for producing a cannabinoid compound, the method comprising:
- contacting a cannabinoid precursor in a first phase with a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase,
- wherein the cannabinoid precursor interacts with the cannabinoid synthase to form the cannabinoid compound, and
- wherein the first phase comprises an organic solvent and the second phase comprises an aqueous solvent, and wherein the organic solvent comprises olive oil, sesame oil, castor oil, cotton-seed oil, soybean oil, pentane, heptane, octane, isooctane, nonane, decane, or terpene.
