Solvent Range Volatiles
Solvent Range Volatiles (SRV) refers to a class of organic compounds that vaporize readily at temperatures between roughly 40–180°C, overlapping with standard cannabis extraction solvent boiling points. This range includes light hydrocarbons, some terpenes, and volatile ketones that behave predictably during solvent-based extraction and post-processing. Breeders and extractors track SRV profiles because these compounds influence plant aroma stability, extraction yield efficiency, and the sensory character of concentrates. Understanding SRV composition helps breeding programs optimize for desired volatile retention or removal during processing.

Breeders working in extraction-focused lineages monitor SRV volatility to predict how parent genetics will perform under butane, propane, or ethanol extraction. Strains with high SRV content often require careful temperature control to preserve terpene complexity in final products.
