Rationale

Cannabis profiling has become a prevalent ask of analytical chemistry labs. Focus on standardization has been on cannabinoid profiles, yet terpenoids greatly influence the sensory experience and effects of cannabis products. Some regulatory bodies require profiling of key terpenoids in cannabis material, ingredients, and products. To our knowledge, there is no standardized analytical method available for terpenoid identification. Analytical labs have internally developed methods which may produce different results for same analytes. A standard test method would be beneficial to the industry to standardized test data, enable data comparison across labs and jurisdictions, and assist organizations implementing analysis of these compounds.
