Aroma Degradation
Aroma degradation refers to the loss or modification of volatile aromatic compounds in cannabis plant material over time. This process occurs through oxidation, evaporation, and microbial activity, particularly when plant matter is exposed to heat, light, oxygen, or improper humidity conditions. Understanding aroma degradation is essential for seed banks, breeders, and cultivators working to preserve strain-specific terpene profiles across generations. Lineage records frequently document how storage conditions impact the sensory characteristics breeders encounter during phenotype evaluation. Proper preservation protocols—including controlled temperature, moisture, and light exclusion—are foundational practices in cannabis genetics work.

Breeders monitor aroma stability as a marker of terpene robustness and genetic consistency. Strains showing resistance to aroma degradation under standard storage are often prioritized in preservation programs and seed production workflows.
