Cannabinoid Extraction
Cannabinoid extraction refers to the process of separating cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD) from plant material using solvents, heat, or mechanical methods. This is a technical/processing term rather than a terpene or aromatic compound found in cannabis. Common extraction methods include solvent-based (butane, ethanol, CO₂), rosin pressing, and water-based separation. Understanding extraction efficiency is important for breeders selecting cultivars with high resin production and cannabinoid density. The term is frequently used in breeding discussions when evaluating plant material for commercial processing applications.

Breeders often select for traits that support efficient extraction—such as high trichome density, robust resin gland development, and cannabinoid concentration. Plants with these characteristics are valued in breeding programs designed for concentrates, oils, and refined cannabinoid products.
