Supercritical Extraction

Supercritical extraction is a solvent-based isolation technique using CO₂ at high pressure and temperature to selectively dissolve cannabis plant material. Rather than a terpene itself, this method is a processing category that influences which volatile compounds are retained or removed during extraction. Different temperature and pressure parameters can yield varied terpene profiles in the final concentrate, making it a significant variable in breeding and product development workflows. Lineage records and breeder notes frequently document extraction method impacts on aroma and chemical composition.

Breeder relevance

Breeders working with concentrate production often select for cultivars with robust, stable terpene profiles that withstand supercritical processing. Understanding how extraction parameters affect terpene loss or concentration helps breeders target desirable chemotypes for specific extraction applications.
