Specially designed for use in food, in all types of sectors, these flavors are packaged and labeled under the food grade regulation.

What are cannabis terpenes profiles used for?
Cannabis industry:
Terpenes are used in a wide range of cannabis industry products.
In general, they are used in cannabis extractions and extracts, in vaporizing products and in cannabis flowers or hemp.
Cannabis extractions and extracts
There are several types of extracts which derived from cannabis, in which Cali Terpenes are added to enhance its scent and flavour:
- Mechanical extractions (hashish, ice-o-lator, dry hash, dry sift)
- Extractions with solvents (BHO, PHO, Co2,)
- Cannabinoids distillates (distillates from CBD or THC)
- Extractions by pressure and temperature (Rosin or rosintech).
- Cannabis tinctures (CBD or THC tinctures in olive oil, coconut oil, etc.)
In addition, terpenes change the effects of cannabinoids. For example, if you add the terpenes of a sativa like Jamaican Dream to a distillate from THC of any variety, this distillate will adopt the typical effects of Jamaican Dream.
This allows, with the same base product, to obtain completely different products in scent, flavour and effect.
It is advisable to use between 1 and 4% of terpenes in extractions and extracts of cannabis, and ideally to carry out tests with the lowest proportion and increase it gradually if necessary.
This means to use a MAXIMUM of 1 drop per each 1gram of cannabis extraction, being advisable to carry out tests with 1 drop per 2grams or 1 drop per 3 grams.
The proportion of terpenes to be used might vary depending on the desirable intensity, the type of extraction, the time of the extraction, etc. But in any case, we recommend using a maximum of 4%.
If you want to know more about how to apply terpenes to extractions, please visit our blog or contact us.
Vaping cannabis products
The use of terpenes in cannabis products for vaping is widespread.
Most products for vaping such as the popular ‘Clear’ (distillate of THC or CBD) which is vaporized in ‘Oil Pens’ or ‘Vape Pens’ are so pure that they don’t contain terpenes.
This is the reason why terpenes add flavour and scent not only to extracts but also to herbs for vaping.
In vaping products such as distillates of cannabinoids, it is advisable to use around 2 or 3% of terpenes.
Cannabis flowers or hemp:
Terpenes are also used to increase and enhance the aroma of hemp or cannabis flowers (buds). Cannabis plants usually don't have more than 4% of terpenes, but depending on the professionalism of your application method you will need more or less terpenes to add aroma and flavor.
The ideal method for applying terpenes to dried buds, flowers and herbs is our Terps Spray.
Find out all about Terps Spray in our posts "how to add aroma to flowers" and "what is and how to use Terps Spray".
If the quantity of dried herbs to be sprayed is very small (1 to 10 grams), it may be cheaper to use a strip of blotting paper with a couple of drops, closed in an airtight box with the dried flowers. In few hours your flowers will smell much better.
We recommend to keep the flowers in an airtight container or on vacuum. The vacuum will allow the terpenes to fully penetrate the vegetable, giving your buds a more homogeneous aroma.
For any question, contact our technical team.
Food:
In the food and drinks industry, terpenes profiles have great potential.
The use of terpenes in food or drinks enhance enormously the organoleptic quality of very different products.
We have more than 45 different varieties in our catalogue, which means 45 new flavours and scents that might provide an added value to sauces, snacks, ice-creams and dairy products, sweets, alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, etc.
The proportion of terpenes to use in food varies enormously because it certainly depends on the type of food or drink that is used.
Generally speaking, the proportion is usually between 0.01 and 0.03% for drinks and between 0,01 and 0,3% for the different types of food.
*If you are aiming at producing food or drinks with our terpenes (cannabis aromas) for food, you will need terpenes packed and labelled for food use, according to the current regulations.

We also recommend adding a maximum of 20% of vegetal glycerine in order to reduce the vaping risks as much as possible and to avoid sweetening the e-liquid taste too much.
