Terpene Testing
Terpene testing is the analytical process of identifying and quantifying volatile organic compounds in cannabis plant material. These tests typically employ chromatography-based methods such as gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) to separate and measure individual terpene profiles. Terpene data helps breeders document chemical fingerprints across generations and predict phenotypic expression based on volatile compound ratios. Testing results are commonly archived in breeding records to track consistency, support strain identification, and inform cultivation decisions. This classification focuses on the science and methodology of terpene analysis rather than claimed effects or applications.

Breeders working with terpene testing data can select parent plants with stable, distinctive terpene profiles and develop seeds that reliably reproduce desired aromatic characteristics. Standardized testing protocols enable comparison across seed lines and help preserve genetic markers associated with specific terpene-dominant phenotypes.
