Terpene isolates are individual, concentrated compounds extracted from plants that contain aromatic molecules known as terpenes. Terpenes are organic hydrocarbons found in various plant species, including cannabis, fruits, herbs, and flowers. They contribute to the distinct smells and flavours associated with different plants.

Terpene isolates are obtained through the isolation and extraction of specific terpenes from plant sources. This process involves separating and purifying individual terpenes to create a highly concentrated form, free from other compounds found in the original plant. Once isolated, terpene isolates can be used for various purposes, including:

Flavouring: Terpene isolates are often used in the food and beverage industry to add specific flavours and aromas to products.

Aromatherapy: Due to their aromatic nature, terpene isolates are used in aromatherapy and essential oil blends for their potential therapeutic benefits.

Personal Products: Terpene isolates are commonly added to cannabis products to enhance or mimic the characteristic aromas and flavours associated with specific strains. They can be used in vape cartridges, concentrates, edibles, tobacco and topicals to create a consistent and controlled sensory experience.

Research and Development: Terpene isolates are studied for their potential pharmacological properties and are sometimes included in research on the entourage effect—the idea that the combination of cannabinoids and terpenes may have synergistic effects on the therapeutic potential of cannabis.

It's important to note that terpene isolates are free from cannabinoids like THC or CBD. They solely focus on the aromatic compounds found in the plant. The use of terpene isolates allows for precise control over the flavour and aroma of products without introducing other elements present in the original plant material.
