Terpenes and Flavonoids
Terpenes & Flavonoids Standards
Terpenes are the common name for a large group of compounds that contribute to flavor and odor of botanical products. Terpene analysis plays a critical role in the development and QC of cannabis products as it provides a quantitative measure of the product’s flavor and scent profile.
Flavonoids are naturally occurring secondary metabolic products that can have important functions within plants and benefit consumers with health and healing properties. Similar to terpenes, flavonoids share a role in how we perceive cannabis.
