Seed Oil Composition
Seed oil composition refers to the fatty acid and lipid profiles present in cannabis seeds, distinct from the cannabinoid and terpene chemistry of flowers. While not a terpene itself, seed oil analysis is relevant to breeding programs studying nutritional content and seed viability. Cannabis seeds typically contain oleic, linoleic, and alpha-linolenic acids in varying ratios depending on genetics. Breeders working with seed-producing cultivars often assess oil composition as a marker of seed quality and germination potential. Understanding seed oil profiles helps distinguish between cultivars bred for oil production versus those optimized for flower chemistry.

Seed oil composition serves as a genetic marker in breeding programs focused on nutritional seed varieties and stable germination rates. Breeders may select parent plants based on documented seed oil ratios to maintain consistency across generations.
