Terpene Analysis Methods
Terpene analysis methods are laboratory techniques used to identify and quantify volatile organic compounds in cannabis samples. Common approaches include gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and liquid chromatography methods. These analytical workflows allow breeders, researchers, and testing facilities to document terpene profiles objectively rather than relying on sensory description alone. Accurate analysis has become standard in modern breeding programs, enabling reproducible documentation of strain characteristics across growing environments and generations.

Breeders increasingly use terpene profiling data to select parent plants with consistent aromatic signatures and to track how environmental factors influence terpene expression. Standardized analysis methods help establish baseline profiles for cultivars and support quality control protocols in professional breeding operations.
