The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics

At Hyrba, we’re passionate about delivering the highest quality cannabis products to our customers. One of the key factors that contribute to the unique characteristics of cannabis is its terpene profile. In this blog, we’ll dive deep into the technical aspects of terpene profiling and why it matters for cannabis enthusiasts.

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct smells and flavors associated with different cannabis strains. Some common terpenes include:

• Myrcene
• Limonene
• Pinene
• Linalool
• Caryophyllene

The Terpene Profiling Process

At Hyrba, we use state-of-the-art gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to analyze the terpene content of our cannabis products. This process involves:

1. Sample preparation
2. Extraction of volatile compounds
3. Separation of compounds using GC
4. Identification and quantification using MS

Why Terpene Profiling Matters

Understanding the terpene profile of cannabis strains is crucial for several reasons:

1. It helps predict potential effects and benefits
2. Enables more precise product labeling
3. Assists in breeding programs for desired characteristics
4. Contributes to the entourage effect in conjunction with cannabinoids

By focusing on terpene profiling, Hyrba ensures that our customers receive consistent, high-quality cannabis products with predictable characteristics. This attention to detail is just one of the many ways we strive to deliver excellence in the cannabis industry.
