Lab Effects Introduces The Future of Cannabis-Derived Terpenes

Written by Shared Content

Colorado-based terpene laboratory offers manufacturers the ability to obtain [cultivar]-specific cannabis-derived terpenes for their products, at scale

GOLDEN, Colo., July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Lab Effects, the leader in profiling, extraction, and custom formulation of botanical and cannabis terpenes, announced the launch of their full line of Cannabis Hybrid Terpenes™, which combine cannabis-derived and botanical terpenes. Now, cannabis, food, and beverage product manufacturers can cost-effectively integrate any cannabis cultivar’s authentic aroma into their product lines.

“We’re thrilled to introduce Cannabis Hybrid Terpenes™ to the market,” said Scott Holden, CEO, and founder of Lab Effects. “The proverbial “holy grail” of the terpene industry has always been the pursuit of capturing the non-terpene elements responsible for the cannabis flower’s most essential aromas. We have completed this task and can now replicate any cannabis [cultivar]’s actual smell, not just the gassy botanical notes provided by profile matching with other plant-derived terpenes.”

This newest innovation was developed by Lab Effects with a carefully selected suite of cannabis-derived essential oil bases, which represent the most ubiquitous cannabis aroma categories of diesel, fruity, skunky, earthy, and floral. Running analytics on cannabis flower genetics allows Lab Effects to map out the exact terpene spectrum of a particular [cultivar]. They use this data to fortify each cannabis-derived base with its correlated [cultivar]-specific profile made from other botanical terpenes at carefully chosen ratios, so every base aromatic note of that variety is captured and expressed.

This arrives when cannabis-derived terpenes are highly sought after for flavoring products intended to smell just like the plant in its natural form but come with challenges such as limited supply options, availability, cost, standardization, and scalability. These factors have driven manufacturers to pull terpenes from other plant sources. However, non-cannabis botanicals will never emit the key elements that are inherent to the cannabis plant’s essential oils.

“Cannabis Hybrid Terpenes™ solve all the historical challenges associated with both cannabis-derived terpenes and botanical terpene blends,” said Holden. “By using botanical source profiles, we ensure that no actual terpenes are missing from the fraction, which is common due to variable changes from batch to batch. Similarly, botanical terpene blends lack the essential oil aspects of cannabis-derived terpenes, which provide that unique essence of a cannabis aroma. By carefully combining these two, we produce a product that provides the best of both worlds.”

With Lab Effects’ line of Cannabis Hybrid Terpenes™, manufacturers can control costs, scale, and standardize products while ensuring end-consumers experience every note and nuance of a cannabis [cultivar]’s true aroma in a product. The laboratory can replicate any desired cannabis [cultivar] for its clients at more than half of what a cannabis-derived product typically costs. They are available in both water-soluble and oil-soluble formats, as well as high-speed flowable powders.
