The composition of the aroma and flavor in cannabis smoking and vaporization is a result of two primary sources: inherent and heat-generated flavors. Inherent flavors result from the volatile compounds present in the plant or formulation, such as terpenes and flavonoids. In contrast, heat-generated flavors are generated during the heating process through oxidation and pyrolysis. The variations in temperature and oxygen levels during smoking or vaporization can lead to diverse flavors and intensity levels.
To ensure the development of optimal cannabis products, it is important to understand the impact of both inherent and heat-generated flavors. A thorough approach combining sensory and chemical testing is necessary to establish cause-effect relationships. However, the restrictions imposed by regulations often lead to a reliance on small-scale sensory tests and social media data mining. While these methods can provide some information, relying solely on them is risky as they do not offer a complete or trustworthy representation of customer preferences and market demands.
Robust Solutions Pro is working towards a comprehensive solution to ensure consistency and predictability in smoking and vaporization through Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. However, this is a long-term project, and for the time being, large-scale sensory testing remains the most effective approach for comprehending the complexities of the aroma and flavor of cannabis products. hashtag#cannabis hashtag#datamining
