Extraction Types
Extraction types refer to the methods used to isolate terpenes and cannabinoids from raw cannabis plant material. Common approaches include solvent-based extraction (ethanol, butane, CO₂), solventless methods (rosin pressing, ice water hash), and distillation processes. Each extraction method produces different terpene profiles and volatility outcomes, as heat, pressure, and solvency levels affect which compounds are retained or lost during processing. Understanding extraction mechanics is essential for breeders and processors evaluating how genetic material performs under different production workflows.

Understanding extraction mechanics is essential for breeders and processors evaluating how genetic material performs under different production workflows.
Breeders selecting for specific terpene profiles often coordinate with processors to understand how their chosen extraction methods preserve or degrade volatile compounds. Plants bred for high terpene density may perform differently in CO₂ extraction versus ethanol or rosin systems, influencing strain selection for target markets and production goals.
