A recent report from the Department of Research and Development discusses the volatile secondary metabolites produced by Cannabis sativa L., which contribute to its unique aroma. While compounds like ss-myrcene, D-(+)-limonene, ss-caryophyllene, and terpinolene are often found in large amounts and used for classification and labeling, their specific role in producing aromas is not well understood. The study found that minor, nonterpenoid compounds are strongly correlated with the sweet or savory aromas of Cannabis sativa L. Additionally, the research suggests that the importance of terpenes in the aroma of Cannabis sativa L. may have been overemphasized. [Extracted from the article] |
