Flash Freezing
Flash freezing is a post-harvest preservation technique rather than a terpene compound itself. The method involves rapidly cooling freshly harvested cannabis material to very low temperatures (often −80°C or below) immediately after harvest, intended to arrest enzymatic degradation and oxidation. Breeders and processors working in research contexts use flash freezing to preserve volatile terpene profiles for analysis and breeding selection. This approach is commonly associated with laboratory cultivation and terpene profiling work, where maintaining baseline aromatic chemistry is critical for accurate cannabinoid and terpene quantification.

Flash freezing enables breeders to conduct precise terpene analysis on fresh material without degradation, supporting targeted selection for specific aromatic compound profiles across generations. This technique is particularly relevant in research-focused breeding programs where detailed volatile organic compound (VOC) data informs lineage decisions.
