Summary
This project will characterize the natural concentrations of terpenes and other flavor/aroma compounds found in cannabis flower to create a scientifically validated Flower Flavor-Compound Reference Dataset. The goal is to help DCC distinguish naturally occurring cannabis flavors from added or prohibited flavoring compounds, providing an evidence base for inhalable-product regulation and consumer safety.
