Terpene Profiling

Terpene profiling is the process of analyzing the specific types and amounts of terpenes present in a substance, such as cannabis or essential oils. Terpenes are aromatic compounds that contribute to a plant's fragrance and flavor, and they can also influence its effects and therapeutic benefits. By identifying the unique terpene profile, researchers and consumers can better understand the potential characteristics and benefits of a plant. This profiling helps in selecting strains for particular tastes or effects and is increasingly used in industries like herbal medicine, perfumery, and food flavoring.
