Magriet Muller is an analytical chemist affiliated with Stellenbosch University. She holds a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the institution and serves as an LCMS Scientist in the Central Analytical Facilities. Her work focuses on the development of advanced analytical methods for the characterization of phenolic compounds in plants, utilizing comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry. These techniques have been applied successfully to samples including rooibos tea, grapes, and wine, with particular success in identifying rare flavoalkaloids in cannabis leaves for the first time.
Muller has contributed to research published in scientific outlets highlighting the medicinal potential of compounds found in cannabis. Her role at the LC-MS laboratory supports detailed analysis of complex plant mixtures, addressing challenges posed by low concentrations and structural diversity of phenolics.
Stellenbosch University researchers reveal first evidence of flavoalkaloids in cannabis leaves, unlocking potential for antioxidants and anti-inflammatories in South Africa's growing medicinal cannabis sector.
