Terpene Profiling and Analysis

Comprehensive terpene analysis provides the aromatic and flavor profile of your cannabis and hemp products. Terpenes not only define the product's smell and taste but also contribute to its overall effects through the entourage effect.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the distinctive aromas and flavors of cannabis. They also play a role in the plant's effects and therapeutic properties. Common terpenes include limonene, myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene, and linalool.
