Extraction Method
Extraction methods refer to the techniques used to separate cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds from cannabis plant material. Common approaches include solvent-based extraction (using ethanol, butane, or CO₂), mechanical separation (rosin pressing, dry sifting), and water-based processes. Different methods yield varying product types—concentrates, isolates, distillates, and full-spectrum extracts—each preserving or concentrating compounds differently. Breeders and processors consider cannabinoid and terpene profiles when selecting plant material, as extraction efficiency and final product quality depend partly on the starting cultivar's chemical composition and physical structure.

Cultivars bred for extraction typically feature robust resin production, stable cannabinoid ratios, and terpene profiles that remain viable through processing. Breeders working in extraction-focused categories often select for plant structure and yield traits that support large-scale material handling.
