C6 Volatiles
C6 volatiles are a class of low molecular weight compounds commonly found across cannabis cultivars, often characterized by green, grassy, or leafy aromatic notes. These six-carbon compounds include aldehydes and alcohols that typically emerge during plant growth and handling, contributing to the fresh, herbal profile observed in many strains. Breeders and researchers track C6 volatile profiles as markers of plant stress response, harvest timing, and post-harvest processing conditions. While present across diverse genetic backgrounds, their prominence varies significantly based on cultivar and cultivation practices. Understanding C6 volatile expression helps breeders assess preservation of volatile integrity and predict sensory outcomes in breeding programs.
