Terpene analysis in cannabis

Terpenes are the flavour and fragrance compounds that can be profiled to determine strain identity in cannabis, essential for identifying which strain of cannabis – and therefore which health benefit resulting from its natural constituents – is delivered in the end product.

This analysis is vital to ensure the correct product is provided to the consumer, via medical prescription or bought over the counter.

Mislabelling is a huge issue for the cannabis industry

Different varieties of natural cannabis contain compounds in differing strengths that are thought to be responsible for a range of health benefits.

Terpene profiling determines strain identity through detecting the levels of compounds such as terpenes that are responsible for different tastes and odours in the cannabis.

Cannabis is approved for condition-specific medicinal use in the UK, as well as in 33 US states, and new regulations governing its labelling are set to follow.

To deliver the correct type of active compounds in the drug for the treatment of specific conditions, flavour profiling is essential. Determining the type and quantity is essential to identify the particular cannabis strain and therefore deliver an effective drug to the consumer.
