Hops and cannabis are members of the Cannabaceae family. So that they may share some common characteristics is no surprise, but what is striking to me is the apparent correlation of how they respond to temperature.
Recent research indicates that wort temperature plays a complex role in hop utilization including effects on iso-alpha acids, alpha acids oxidation, beta acids and on a range of other compounds that are present in hops. These effects could be simply considered to be bittering strength and complexity. Temperature also reportedly effects hop terpenes influencing flavor and aroma.
Similarly, research indicates that cannabinoid vaporization temperature effects the efficiency of THC and CBD delivery, as well as effecting cannabis terpenes influencing flavor and aroma.
Does anyone know of research into this apparent correlation and can provide links for further study?
