Terpene Profile Analysis
Terpene Analysis
Terpenes are a particular family of organic chemical compounds that are present in cannabis and play a significant role in giving each strain its own flavor, color, and aroma. Climate, ambient circumstances, age and maturation, fertilizers, soil composition, and harvest periods are just a few of the numerous variables that might affect the formation of terpenes in cannabis. The almost 150 terpenes that make up any strain are the primary component of any plant resin or “essential oils” and add to the aroma, flavor, and color of the plant.
It is thought that terpenes and cannabinoids work in concert by attaching to brain receptors. Nevertheless, distinct terpene combinations produce distinct flavors and scents, which can help customers select goods that meet their own requirements and tastes.
