Distillation
Distillation is a separation and concentration technique used in cannabis processing, not a terpene itself. In breeding and genetics documentation, "distillation" refers to the laboratory method of isolating individual terpenes and cannabinoids from plant material through heating and vapor condensation. This process is critical for terpene profiling—identifying which aromatic compounds are present in a strain's chemotype—and for producing concentrates that preserve or emphasize specific terpene profiles. Distillation data informs breeders about chemotype consistency across generations and helps establish baseline aromatic signatures for strain families. Understanding distillation results is essential for documenting the true terpene content of breeding stock and clone lines.

Breeders use distillation analysis to verify terpene stability in new cultivars and to select parent plants with desired aromatic profiles. Distillation-grade purity data helps establish quality baselines for commercial seed lines and clone preservation.
