Myrcene Oxidation

Myrcene oxidation refers to the chemical degradation of myrcene, a common sesquiterpene, when exposed to heat, light, or oxygen over time. This process can transform myrcene into secondary compounds including humulene and other oxidative byproducts, altering the overall terpene profile of stored or aged cannabis material. Breeders and cultivators tracking terpene stability often monitor myrcene oxidation as part of preservation protocols. Understanding this degradation pathway is relevant to seed banking, post-harvest handling, and long-term cannabinoid-terpene interactions in stored flower.

Breeder relevance

Breeders working with myrcene-dominant strains may select for oxidation resistance to maintain terpene consistency across harvests and storage conditions. Knowledge of myrcene oxidation pathways informs storage best practices for breeding programs maintaining live germplasm and tissue culture lines.
