Seed Oil Composition
Seed oil composition in cannabis refers to the fatty acid and lipid profiles found in cannabis seeds, distinct from cannabinoid or terpene content in flowers. The primary components include linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, oleic acid, and other polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Cannabis seeds are often studied for their nutritional lipid ratios, which remain consistent within cultivar lineages and can be influenced by growing conditions and harvest timing. Breeders and agricultural researchers document seed oil profiles as a trait relevant to seed production programs and nutritional assessment, though seed composition is rarely the primary selection criterion in modern cannabis breeding.

Seed oil composition is tracked in agricultural research and breeding programs focused on nutritional or industrial seed production rather than flower potency. Breeders working with hemp cultivars selected for seed yields may monitor fatty acid ratios as a secondary trait reflecting plant health and maturity.
