Co2 Processing
CO2 processing refers to supercritical or subcritical carbon dioxide extraction methods used to isolate cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis plant material. Unlike solvent-based extraction, CO2 processing uses pressurized CO2 as a non-flammable extraction medium, often resulting in concentrates with preserved aromatic profiles. The technique allows breeders and processors to study terpene composition across different cultivars and phenotypes with minimal thermal degradation. CO2-extracted samples frequently serve as reference materials for terpene profiling and cannabinoid analysis in breeding programs. This processing method has become standard in cannabis genetics research for accurately documenting strain chemotype data.

Breeders utilize CO2 extraction to conduct precise terpene analysis across breeding populations, identifying phenotypes with desired aromatic and volatile profiles. Chemotype documentation through CO2 processing helps establish reproducible lineage records and guides selection for cannabinoid and terpene stability in subsequent generations.
