Cold Pressing
Cold pressing is an extraction method rather than a terpene itself, but it's widely discussed in cannabis breeding and cultivation contexts for its role in preserving volatile aromatic compounds. This mechanical extraction process applies pressure at low temperatures, theoretically minimizing heat-induced degradation of terpenes and cannabinoids. The method is commonly associated with producing full-spectrum extracts that retain the plant's original terpene profile. Lineage records and breeding documentation frequently reference cold-pressed material when evaluating strain aromatics and flavor stability across generations. Breeders working in this category often use cold-pressed samples to assess terpene expression without thermal alteration.

Breeders use cold-pressed extraction to accurately phenotype strains for terpene content and profile consistency. This preservation method helps distinguish genetic terpene expression from processing-induced changes, making it valuable for selection work and parent-plant evaluation.
