Monoterpene preservation during extraction impacts the aromatic complexity and functional properties of cannabis-derived terpenes. For R&D teams, choosing between steam distillation, cold trap systems, and molecular distillation is a critical decision that affects product quality and manufacturing economics. Our extraction benchmarks indicate that cold trap extraction consistently delivers superior monoterpene recovery rates than conventional methods, […]

The strategic selection of specific terpene profiles is a huge product differentiation opportunity for cannabis and hemp brands today. Although cannabinoid content still influences consumer purchasing decisions, terpene composition is the new focus for buyers seeking targeted effects, consistent experiences, and authentic cannabis characteristics that only precisely formulated native cannabis terpenes can deliver. Understanding the

The infused pre-roll segment is one of the cannabis industry’s fastest-growing product categories, with year-over-year growth in multiple mature markets. The rapid growth reflects consumer demand for enhanced potency, consistent experiences, and distinctive flavor profiles that standard pre-rolls often fail to deliver. However, many manufacturers struggle with technical challenges that compromise product quality and brand

Terpene degradation is an expensive but avoidable loss in cannabis manufacturing. Although formulation and extraction often take center stage, packaging, a frequently overlooked aspect, is a game changer in terpene retention. To know how much packaging affects product quality via terpene retention, we conducted a 180-day stability study on six popular packaging films, using accelerated

The regulatory landscape for hemp-derived compounds continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, with terpenes gaining more prominence in international compliance frameworks. For brands and manufacturers looking to distribute hemp terpene products across borders, understanding the regulatory pathways, notably GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) in the United States and Novel Food regulations in the EU

The cannabis edibles market presents unique challenges for product developers seeking authentic flavor and effect profiles. While cannabinoids remain stable during production and shelf life, terpenes are notoriously volatile and easily degraded. For gummy and soft-chew manufacturers, mastering terpene stability is critical for product differentiation, brand consistency, and delivering on marketing claims. This technical guide

The cannabis industry faces a critical issue. Recent reports have exposed widespread pesticide contamination in products that passed state-mandated testing, leaving brands scrambling to protect their reputations and consumers demanding answers. For B2B partners seeking reliable terpene suppliers, recognizing the difference between minimum compliance and advanced safety testing has never been more vital. At Terpene

Live resin cannabis-derived terpenes (CDTs) are transforming cannabis products.  With the market projected to grow at around 7.8% CAGR (from $2.87 billion in 2025 to $5.64 billion by 2034), leveraging live resin CDTs to enhance cannabis products and attract new opportunities makes sense. Terpene Belt Farms’ proprietary Fresh Never Frozen® process preserves up to 98%

In cannabis terpene production, timing is everything. Although cannabinoids generally get more attention in product development, the complex terpene expressions that provide cannabis with its distinctive sensory characteristics and functional effects are profoundly influenced by growing conditions and harvest timing. Understanding these seasonal variations is critical to formulation success for product developers and manufacturers seeking
