Co2 Extraction
CO₂ extraction is a solvent-based separation technique that uses supercritical or subcritical carbon dioxide to isolate cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant compounds from cannabis biomass. The method operates at precise temperature and pressure ranges, allowing selective extraction of different molecular weights. CO₂ extracts often retain a broader terpene profile than some alternative solvent methods, though the final aroma depends heavily on extraction parameters, starting material, and post-processing. This technique is commonly used in commercial production to create concentrates, distillates, and full-spectrum products. The aroma of CO₂ extracts can range from floral and herbal to fruity, depending on the source strain and extraction conditions.

Breeders and producers evaluate parent strains for terpene stability and extraction yield when targeting CO₂-based product lines. Lineage selection influences which aromatic compounds survive the extraction process, making strain choice relevant for commercial extraction workflows.
