Terpene analysis via headspace to determine Canabis quality
Terpenes are a diverse class of organic compounds produced by various plants, including cannabis.
They play a crucial role in aroma and flavor profiles of cannabis strains and are believed to contribute to the therapeutic effects of the plant.[1] Accurate analysis of terpenes is essential for quality control, strain differentiation, and research into the pharmacological properties of cannabis. The use of the FlavourSpec®25 (GC-IMS with a headspace auto-sampler) is an extremely useful analytical tool for direct sampling as-is, quantification and identification of terpenes in cannabis samples.
