PT Terpenes and Flavonoids

Terpenes

Terpenes are a large group of compounds that contribute to the flavor and aroma of botanical products. They are structurally based on isoprene or 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene units. The diversity of terpenes and terpenoids is reflected in the wide range of scents and flavors they produce. Terpene profiles of plants, including cannabis, can be used as a method of strain identification or to enhance the flavor and fragrance aspects of consumer products.

NSI offers terpene standards to support all your terpene analyses.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are naturally occurring secondary metabolites that serve important functions in plants and may provide health and wellness benefits to consumers. These compounds play diverse roles, including defense mechanisms, pigmentation, pheromone production, odorants, and catalysis.

NSI offers standards for flavonoids, including specialized mixes designed for cannabis products.
