Terpene isolation has been on the rise in recent years. Terpenes are the fragrant oils found in many types of plants, which are known for producing a unique taste and smell ranging from woodsy to spicy to citrusy sweet. Secreted in the same resin glands that produce cannabinoids like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), terpenes are also present in other plants, fruits, and herbs. These fragrant molecules provide cannabis varieties with their characteristic aromas and tastes.
Also known as terpenoids, terpenes are essential for plant survival. However, they also boast biological and pharmacological properties that prove beneficial for humans. Extensive research has shown that terpenes exhibit a broad scope of biological and pharmacological activities. They even have antioxidant properties that could protect the human body when oxidative stress is caused by cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, renal disease, and liver disease.
There are a multitude of ways terpene extracts can be utilized to create unique products. Designer terpene cocktails are the newest concept born of the recently popularizes laced drink trend. Bars around the globe now feature infused drinks on their menu, even in places where recreational consumption hasn’t yet been reflected in public policy. As more governments legalize, the benefits of terpenes—either derived or not—are becoming more commonplace and readily available.
