C6 Volatiles
C6 volatiles are a group of small, six-carbon organic compounds commonly detected in cannabis flower and concentrates. These volatile compounds include hexanal, hexan-1-ol, and related aldehydes and alcohols that contribute to fresh, green, or slightly fruity aromatic notes. In breeding records, C6 volatiles are frequently associated with certain landrace and heirloom cultivars, particularly those with heritage in cooler or temperate growing regions. Breeders studying terpene expression and aroma development often monitor C6 volatile presence as part of broader volatile organic compound (VOC) profiling during selection work.

Breeders working in aroma phenotype selection track C6 volatile expression as a marker of freshness and volatility profile. Understanding C6 volatile inheritance can inform crosses aimed at specific aromatic character development, particularly in cultivars targeting herbal or green-note aromatics.
