TERPENE

TESTING

Terpenes are the molecules in cannabis that give it its characteristic odors and tastes. Terpenes are ubquitous in the plant kingdom. For example, myrcene is found in thyme and hops, limonene in citrus fruits, and linalool in mint and cinnamon.

 

Terpenes provide more than just the smell or taste of cannabis – they are active biological compounds and now we know terpenes work together with cannabinoids to produce diverse health benefits. The more we learn, the more we realize how critical terpenes are to your customers’ or patients’ experience with your flower or products. Armed with the terpene profile, you can better inform consumers of the effects of your flower and infused products.

 

We use our state-of-the-art Agilent 7890 Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) to give you accurate analysis of 39 terpenes. We are constantly updating our terpene panel to include more terpenes as more reference standards become available.
