Terpene extraction

Terpene extraction is a process used to separate and collect aromatic compounds called terpenes from plants, especially cannabis. These compounds give plants their distinctive scents and flavors. The extraction typically involves heating, pressure, or solvents to gently isolate the terpenes without damaging their delicate structures. Methods like steam distillation, solvent extraction, or cold-pressing are common. The goal is to preserve the pure aroma and flavor profiles of the plant, which can enhance the effects and tastes of products like oils and concentrates. Proper extraction ensures quality, potency, and a full spectrum of natural plant compounds.
