    Terpenes & Oil

    Terpenes play an undeniable role in restoring the whole flower effect to hemp extracts.

    What Are Chemovars?

    Many different strains of hemp are currently being cultivated, each exhibiting its own chemovar. The chemovar, or unique composition of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other organic compounds, can vary widely even within strains depending on numerous environmental factors like light, altitude, and more. However, one certain thing is that preserving the chemovar profile is exceedingly difficult when producing extracts and hemp concentrates.

    Why Are Terpenes Lost During The Oil Extraction Processes?

    In addition to their immensely potent and prolific role in distributing hemps’ various benefits, terpenes are also among the most sensitive and volatile compounds produced within the plant’s trichomes.

    The growing popularity of hemp extracts extends this problem a step further. Even in the more high-performance. extraction processes that are CO2-based and known for delivering very potent output, the compound concentrations are dramatically different when comparing flowers with extracts. Their inherent volatility means that terpenes are lost in large quantities during the extraction process.

    While the extracted cannabinoids are more potent in concentrates, the loss of key terpenes results in a significantly different chemical profile and altered effects when compared to the whole flower’s properties.

    What Are the Benefits of Combining Terpenes With hemp Oils?

    The “Entourage Effect” achievable with the inclusion of terpenes makes them a hearty and potent component of the whole hemp flower. For instance, when hemp is heated, terpenes may account for upwards of 50% of the smoke or vapor. This amount surpasses the 10-20% concentration of cannabinoids and the remaining 10-30% of less potent terpenes found in the same hemp smoke or vapor.

    Hemp oils and concentrates are unlikely to deliver a comparable experience concerning the whole flower’s capabilities, creating a significant disparity as far as reproducing special effects and therapeutic properties. For medical patients who are focused on using specific strains to treat certain indications or produce certain forms of therapeutic relief, the discrepancy grows even wider.

    However, thanks to a combination of analysis and technology that can accurately reproduce terpene profiles, terpenes’ well-documented medicinal and therapeutic properties can be precisely incorporated into hemp oils and concentrates. Apart from matching the traits and characteristics of the whole flower, users benefit from a consistent experience that delivers the plant’s intended effects.
