Fresh Frozen Extraction
Fresh frozen extraction refers to cannabis processing methods that preserve plant material in a frozen state from harvest through extraction, typically using liquid solvents like butane or propane. This approach aims to retain volatile terpenes and cannabinoids that may degrade during traditional drying and curing. The frozen biomass is extracted at low temperatures, minimizing heat exposure. Fresh frozen material often produces concentrates commonly associated with robust aromatic profiles compared to dried-flower extraction runs. This classification encompasses techniques like BHO (butane hash oil) and propane extraction performed on freshly harvested, flash-frozen cannabis.

Breeders working toward terpenoid-forward phenotypes often prioritize fresh frozen extraction compatibility, as terpene retention profiles become measurable breeding markers. Genetic lines selected for volatile terpene abundance frequently show improved extract quality when processed fresh frozen versus conventional dried methods.
