Terpenes are volatile aromatic molecules that evaporate easily and readily announce themselves to the nose. Various researchers have emphasized the pharmacological importance of terpenes, or terpenoids, which form the basis of aromatherapy, a popular holistic healing modality. Cannabis compelling fragrance and particular psychoactive flavor are determined by the predominant terpenes in a strain.
There are over 3000 terpenes in nature and 400 of them have been found in the cannabis plants where 70 of them are identified as cannabinoids, but only a few of these odiferous oily substances appear in amounts substantial enough to be nose worthy. Among them are monoterpenes, diterpenes, and sesquiterpenes, which are characterized by the number of repeating units of a 5-carbon molecule called isoprene, the structural hallmark of all terpenoid compounds.
