What are Terpene Flavors?

Terpene flavors are the signature scents and flavors produced by naturally occurring terpenes found in various plants. They are one of the phenotypic traits observed in certain plant cultivars or breeds. They're identified as zesty sourness in citrus fruits, the sweet tartness in berries, or the dankness in cannabis strains. Depending on the dominant terpenes and other aromatic non-terpenoids present, terpene flavors can be highly diverse, even among plants of the same species. Without undergoing the microscopic lens, humans and animals detect terpene flavors through taste and smell.

Terpene flavors as secret binary signals. Far more than pleasant aromas, terpenes originally exist as secondary metabolites that protect the plant from external stressors (i.e., predators) and promote growth. Meaning, plants induce unique terpene smells to either attract pollinators or to repel pests, microbes, or some compounds. However, humans interpret this sophisticated signal differently; we don't rely on it for survival. Terpene flavors are nature's gift for our senses.

Terpenes: The Secret Behind Unique Plant Flavor and Aroma

Terpenes are the main reason for the flavor and aroma of plants because of their unique properties. It's important for Terpene Warehouse to incorporate and account for the behavior of each terpene so our team can produce the best and most stable terpene profiles. During the selection and production process, there are special sensory attributes and functional properties we note as they contribute to the flavor and aroma.

Terpenes are volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They have low molecular weights and high vapor pressures; thus, terpenes easily evaporate so you to smell or interact with your taste buds to perceive flavor.
Terpenes exhibit diversity. You won't find a plant cultivar smelling the same as another. Thanks to terpenes! Because of different genetics and the growing environment, the possible terpene blends leading manufacturers can customize are limitless.
Terpenes interact with other metabolites. It's not only the terpene that delivers the aroma. While their impact on the flavor profile is remarkable, other compounds like esters, alcohols, sulfurs, ketones, and aldehydes, to name a few, help enhance and complete the complexity of it.

Terpene Warehouse Intenza Terpene Blends boasts highly potent, authentic terpenes that undergo meticulous scientific and sensory testing. This gives brands and consumers complete confidence that every blend contains pure and naturally derived terpenes that work.

Making The Right Choice: The Difference Between Natural (Botanical) and Synthetic Terpenes Flavors

Natural terpene flavors are sourced from real plants, while synthetic terpene flavors are created inside a laboratory. Consumers prefer the natural terpenes because they preserve the complexity and authenticity of plant-derived terpenes. In addition, it offers a cleaner and appealing choice, especially for those with strict dietary preferences. Much research discusses the chemical identity between the natural and synthetic ones. However, even with an almost identical structure, synthetic terpenes are believed to be lacking some components that can fully mimic the outstanding profile of natural essential oils and terpenes flavors, making them "less desirable" for consumers.

That being said, Terpene Warehouse only uses botanical terpenes for Intenza. Not only can they appeal to the health-conscious majority, but they also capture the most nuanced expression—that's difficult to replicate. An all-natural flavoring should be able to meet user expectations and the regulatory standards effortlessly.

Are flavored terpenes safe?

Yes. Premium flavored terpenes are safe as long as they're:

sourced from clean plant materials with verified plant origins,
produced in food-grade sanitary environments with standardized processes, and
tested for its purity and potency.

Detailed reports and test results of terpene and non-terpenoid composition accompany every batch of Terpene Warehouse Intenza Terpenes. Our robust quality system ensures no contaminants are present from extraction until packaging. Terpene Warehouse ensures everything's disclosed on the labels and documentation, including potential allergens and other nutrition information.

How Can Different Terpenes Be Combined To Create Unique New Flavor Profiles?

Manufacturers like Terpene Warehouse follow scientific and sensory principles to develop the unique blends that create satisfying experiences. Critical points for flavor chemists are:

Every terpene's synergy is special with other compounds in different processes.
Flavor chemistry, the top, middle, and base notes, creates a multi-dimensional olfactory experience—significantly better than single-note aromas.
Each terpene exhibits unique pharmacological properties, which then can reinforce a blend's desired functional effect (e.g., focus, stress, energy, etc.)
Terpenes have different odor thresholds. Anything more than the suggested range may cause unwanted effects (e.g., eye irritation, nasal pungency, etc.)

How High-Terpene Blends Impact The Cannabis Plant Experience

High-terpene blends extracted from non-cannabis botanicals may still provide a distinctive cannabis experience. They still allow for a layered flavor profile that most cannabis strains possess. When compared to single-origin and full-spectrum terpene blends, high-terpene blends are easier to navigate.

High-terpene blends can easily recreate strain profiles, making it easy to replicate the overall cannabis experience.
Dominant terpene blends mean it cannot taste "flat" like single-origin terpenes or stripped down like full-spectrum extracts. Same proportions every time yield a consistently rich and multi-layered sensory expression. This makes it easy to achieve the depth of well-loved strains.
Chemists may tone down or mask the off notes that a poor growing environment and other external factors may have caused.
High-terpene extracts that are botanically derived are legal in the US, making it easier to comply with regulations and broaden cross-state operations.

Highly Concentrated Terpenes: What Do They Do Besides Natural Terpene Flavors?

For customers,

Targeted benefits. With a concentrated terpene extract, a consumer can experience the dominant terpene's effects in full glory. Terpenes, just like any compounds, undergo first-pass metabolism or other biological processes that can change their structure and reduce their bioavailability. When certain terpenes are high in content, high amounts of active terpenes survive the process, making it easier to exert their corresponding effects. For example, consumers can benefit from limonene's antibacterial properties or beta-caryophyllene's likely support for pain management.
Entourage effect. Botanical terpenes work like flavor-infused terpenes sourced from cannabis plants, as studies suggest terpenes are identical in molecular structure. Once expertly isolated and purified, you can expect the terpenes to behave exactly as expected to produce a wonderful synergy with known cannabinoids THC and CBD.

For brands,

Consistency and precision. Using high-terpene blends (instead of broad-spectrum terpene blends) allows for a more precise control over customizing formulations. This means the sensory profile, even after some chemical processes, remains uniform and stable in the final product.
On-point Consumer Expectations. Consumers like no-fuss, easy-to-decipher profiles. Using high-terpene flavors makes it easier for brands to deliver recognizable smells and flavors that consistently meet most sensory expectations of consumers.
Batch Standardization. Unlike natural full-spectrum essential oil extracts, which vary depending on the plant material's growing environment, flavor specialists craft high-terpene formulations like Intenza with precisely measured terpene isolates and the same terpene ratios every single time. Any seasonal fluctuation or difference in plant genetics won't affect the potential effects and benefits of each blend.

Which Specific Terpenes are Responsible for Common Flavors like Citrus, Pine, or Earthy notes?

Most botanical flavor formulations contain at least ten major terpenes. For highly concentrated formulas, there's likely a dominant terpene that dictates the primary theme for the overall sensory palette. For reference, here are a few of the most well-known terpenes and their profiles:

Limonene is known for that bright citrus burst. Because they're highly volatile, limonene top flavor releases first. They give off an immediate zesty smell and leave a slight sweetness.
Pinene smells like fresh pine needles. Pinene present in the topmost flavor structure evokes a refreshing impression.
Caryophyllene has a complex profile with spicy, woody, and peppery notes. They're known for their low volatility, so they provide a long-lasting scent when dominantly found in terpene blends. To add, cannabis plants contain beta-caryophyllene as their most abundant sesquiterpene (when heated).
Myrcene is earthy and musky. As they have that warm sensory perception, they often add depth or balance to the blends. They tone down sharp notes and enhance subdued ones. Myrcene is rarely the dominant note because of its herbal richness.
Linalool has a rounded floral profile with subtle woody and spicy undertones. They're mostly found in the middle notes, so they linger a bit longer. They are often found in aromatherapy products and blends that expertly mimic different strains.
