Are any cannabis labs equipped to test for thiols?

why do you ask?

my knee jerk response to “thiols & mercaptans in cannabis” was

Dude, you’re supposed to use the non-oderized butane!

which isn’t super helpful, or the only source of stinky extract :man_shrugging:

@Psilisophical posted a paper about 7 hrs ago that has a pretty extensive list of constituents…I didn’t note any thiols or mercaptans on the list.

I would however imagine, that because every single protein on the planet starts with a Methionine, and methionine can be converted enzymatically to mercaptans in your mouth, boiling “crude” for hrs at a time might yield some…
