Potassium hydroxide CBD reagent test.


To prepare the reagent, dissolve 1 gram of potassium hydroxide  in 24ml of ethanol, agitate the container until complete dissolution of the potassium hydroxide, and there you go, its ready.

when CBD is reacted with a 5% ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution, CBD is converted to quinone, which has a strong purple color, so the more vivid the purple, the higher the CBD content, this method can have many applications and is really simple, you could use it for example in combination with the zeolite isomerization tek and test CBD conversion rates in different timeframes, temperatures and conditions.
