Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. They contribute to the scent, flavor, and overall character of a cannabis strain or product. Terpene analysis can help producers differentiate product varieties, understand flavor and aroma profiles, and improve product consistency. Terpene testing is not currently a mandatory compliance requirement in most regulatory frameworks, though this may change as regulations evolve. For producers, terpene profiling is an increasingly valued tool for product differentiation, quality control, and formulation development.
