Comprehensive aroma profiling of cannabis using a discovery workflow

This study describes the use of GCxGC–TOF MS for exploratory profiling of terpenes and other aroma-active compounds in cannabis flowers.
 

In this study, two ‘Blueberry Kush’ cannabis extracts were analysed by GCxGC–TOF MS. The two samples are from the same strain but grown under different conditions – Sample A was purchased from a dispensary in Ontario, while sample B was grown outdoors in the summer of 2019 from seeds. The figure shows the enhanced separation provided by GCxGC for the hydrocarbon-based terpenes and the oxygenated terpenoids for increased insight into sample composition, improved flavor profiling and accurate product labelling.
