Comparative Analysis of Polyphenolic Profile and Chemopreventive Potential of Hemp Sprouts, Leaves, and Flowers of the Sofia Variety.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the phytochemical composition and biological activities of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) leaves, flowers' methanolic extracts from the Sofia variety, and its sprouts cultivated under different light conditions (natural light, darkness, blue, and white LED light for 5, 7, and 9 days). Phytochemical analysis using HPLC identified four key polyphenolic compounds in sprouts' extracts: chlorogenic, caffeic, and gallic acids, and myricetin, with a predomination of the chlorogenic acid. In contrast, leaves and flowers' extracts contained cannflavins A and B and chlorogenic, p-coumaric, and ferulic acids, with a significant presence of isochlorogenic acid. Antioxidant capacity, assessed by FRAP method, revealed higher antioxidant potential in leaves compared to fl
