The process of adding terpenes to a product, often during manufacturing or processing, results in terpene-enhanced goods. These organic compounds, naturally occurring in plants, notably cannabis, impart distinct aromas and flavors. For example, a beverage might be created, that includes limonene, to provide a citrus flavor profile, this making it a terpene-enhanced creation.
The incorporation of terpenes can influence the overall experience a product delivers, impacting taste, smell, and potentially, physiological effects. Historically, essential oils, rich in terpenes, have been utilized for aromatherapy and traditional medicine. The modern interest lies in leveraging specific terpene profiles to target desired sensory or therapeutic outcomes.
