The Science of Mapping Terpenes

Lab Effects is the premier and trusted source for botanical profiling, extraction, purification and custom formulation of 100% natural cannabis terpenes. Lab Effects is a partner company to CBD Global handling all terpene formulations.

Extracting terpenes from other plants has allowed Lab Effects to achieve a much broader formulation goal than would have been financially achievable isolating them from cannabis alone. Once isolated, there is no difference between terpenes extracted from cannabis than from other botanical sources. Learn more about our isolated terpenes and how they're used.

Cannabis derived terpenes are actually cannabis essential oils. The essential oil derived from cannabis contains the pure essence (flavor, scent) of the plant from which it is extracted. Within that essential oil contains a terpene profile that can act as an aromatic fingerprint of the plant all while containing no THC psychoactive properties. See how we introduce Cannabis derived terpenes into our other terpenes.

By running analytics on cannabis genetics, we are able to match the exact terpene spectrum of a particular cannabis strain using isolated terpenes extracted from other, non-cannabis plants. This process is more cost effective, and allows us to then reconstruct the profiles to ratios of our choosing to standardize your products.

CHT™ starts with our very own suite of cannabis-derived essential oil bases, which cover the most ubiquitous aroma categories of diesel, fruity, skunky, earthy, and floral. We then fortify each cannabis-derived base with its many correlated strain-specific profile blends made from other botanical terpenes at carefully chosen ratios, to make sure neither overpowers the other, and every base aromatic note of that variety is captured and expressed.

To create our award-winning enhanced flavor enhanced profiles, we combine strain-specific cannabis profiles with complementary, natural flavors. These amazing flavors are all lipid-based, allowing them to homogenize with any cannabis extract and terpene profile. This makes them very easy to work with, as they will never separate or precipitate.

Terpenes have a far greater value than just their application in matching or customizing unique flavor and aroma profiles. We combine complementary terpenes based on knowledge of their physiological effects. This allows us to further control and amplify the desired therapeutic power of a product when formulating, in a cost-effective manner.

Moving beyond fragrance and flavor to a more therapeutic focus of terpenes, our advanced powderization technique provides the ability for companies to now manufacture more traditional medical product formats. We render any terpene or custom profile into a static free powder that is ideal for machine filling applications such as capsules or pill press tablets.

We have developed a unique micelle technology that allows us to seamlessly fold ANY terpene profile into a water-based product through an advanced nano-emulsified microencapsulation technique with a 10% load concentration. This technology can be used in a variety of applications from sports drinks, spirits, and beer, to even water-based topical creams, lotions, and much more.

A naturally occurring 100% pure plant-derived terpene ideal for reducing the viscosity of cannabis extracts and eliminating crystallization. Unlike other cutting agents or inappropriately used diluents, The Cut™ offers the added benefit of being odorless and flavorless making it a superior thinning agent to add to any CBD or THC vape formulation.
