Theme: The seminar will introduce the audience to the biosynthetic production of cannabinoids, through fermentation in brewer’s yeast. The resultant products are pure, consistent and sustainable, and rare cannabinoids - present in trace amounts in the plant - can be readily produced at scale. Willow’s FutureGrown cannabigerol (CBG) will be introduced, demonstrating its potential as a “hero” active ingredient in skincare products.
