Terpenes are aromatic molecules produced in plants, and they act as the building blocks for a plants aroma and taste. Cannabis strains produces hundreds of these molecules at naturally high levels, and the rate and types of terpenes produced in the plant comes in many varieties. Each strain has a unique arrangement of terpenes, called a terpene profile, which attribute to their individual personalities. Terpenes are large contributors of the newly coined term, the “entourage effect,” which is the synergistic response of terpenes.

Read more about what terpenes are, their medicinal benefits, and the entourage effect in our article, What are Terpenes and Why do they Matter?

You can buy terpenes online from Extract Consultants right here through our online store. Our terpene blends are crafted from high quality botanically derived terpene isolates, meaning that the building blocks we use for our products are derived from common natural plant sources such as oranges, lavender, hops, and more.

Terpenes can be ingested in small doses. Terpenes are aromatic and flavor compounds found in nearly all plants. All of our terpenes are rated as “Food Safe” and “GRAS” (Generally Regarded As Safe). You can find all of the supporting paperwork for our products on our website.

Our Solvent Free Terpene Blends, Solvent Free Terpene Flavors, and Remedies products do not contain solvents.

Our TasteBudds brands of flavors do contain either PG or MCT oil as a carrier base.

No. We have been aware for some time of the desire in the market for odorless and flavorless value-priced diluent/thickener alternatives to terpenes, MCT and PG products. While some offer such products, our extensive research and testing has found no safe alternatives up to this point. As such, we do not use or offer any viscosity agents or products.

Our terpene blends contain only isolated terpenes and/or essential oils. Their main focus is to introduce the replicated terpene profiles of certain strains.

Our terpene flavors are also built using isolated terpenes and/or essential oils, but they also contain all-natural, food grade flavor components, such as different esters and ketones. These flavor molecules help deliver an extra boost of added flavor that is normally not possible using only terpenes, such as blueberry, banana, and cantaloupe.

Yes! We have a wide variety of common isolates terpenes available in our Isolated Terpenes product collection.

If there is a specific terpene you aren't finding, please reach out to us via our Contact Us Form and we'll assist you further.

Our terpenes are Botanically Sourced Terpenes, which are sourced from all kinds of plant materials except for cannabis or hemp. Therefore, our terpenes have no trace of any THC, CBD, or other active cannabinoids.

An isolated terpene is a singular molecule that has been separated from its original fraction via distillation methodology. These are building blocks of a terpene blend. Our terpene blends are mixtures using these isolated terpenes and at times, other aromatic materials to create popular flavor concepts.

There are a number of different ways terpenes can be isolated from their botanical source, the most common of which is steam distillation. Other ways include expression, fractionation, CO2, and absolute extraction.

Regardless of how a terpene is extracted, the most important part is the purity of the terpene. This is where the reputation and certifications of the QC and lab protocols are paramount.

Our terpenes and flavor compounds are extremely concentrated. We recommend starting on the low side of add-back rates, start at 1% and work you way up at .5% increments. Generally, we find that people can find an add-back rate between 1%-3%. 

Use our terpene calculators to figure out what amounts of terpenes you should be adding to your products.

To learn more about adding terpenes to your products, visit our How to Use Terpenes page here. We detail out recommendations on the proper handling, heating, mixing, and storage of terpenes and terpene products.

Extract Consultants suggests using disposable pipettes for convenient and accurate measuring. A pipette is a laboratory tool that is commonly used in scientific settings to transport volumes of liquid. We only suggest using this as a transportation tool and not a unit of measurement.

Adding terpenes by drop is not an effective way to achieve consistency in your product. We strongly recommend that terpenes are added and measured by weight, using a scale accurate to at least 0.00 decimal places.

Terpenes should be kept in a cool dark place. A cabinet in your lab is the perfect. No need to refrigerate. Cold terpenes are more difficult to mix into your solution.

To learn more about storing and using terpenes, visit our How to Use Terpenes section.

Terpenes are very volatile compounds and are extremely sensitive to heat. Ideally, no heat would be used during the mixing process. If you must use heat, then we recommend not exceeding 100 F.

To learn more about proper heating techniques of terpenes, visit our How to Use Terpenes page.

Headspace is the space between the liquid terpenes in the container and the lid that it is stored in. It is the air that is trapped inside the bottle. Generally speaking, the more headspace (or oxygen) in the bottle, the quicker it can age, so understanding headspace is important for responsible purchasing patterns.

There are a few reasons as to why this why cloudiness has occurred. The most common cause of cloudiness is using too much heat during production, which is why we recommend using no heat or not exceeding 100 F. Other reasons for this might be improper storage, improper mixing, or high levels of use. The age of the concentrate can also play a role in the darkening of the color.

TasteBudds are Extract Consultants line of flavorings for use with concentrates, such as with tinctures or inhalable products. Our flavors are designed to taste as nature intended and are highly concentrated, allowing an add-back rate of just 1% to 3% without separation.

TasteBudds flavors contain as much as 20% active flavoring; whereas, most traditional, food grade, flavor products contain 3% or less active flavoring. If you use a traditional flavor with a 3% active flavoring, you will need to add back 7x as much flavor by volume to impart the same profile as TasteBudds.

Using too much of a weak flavoring creates a runny final product that potentially requires a thickening agent to fix. Any perceived cost savings is eliminated due to the amount of flavoring and thickening agents needed. TasteBudds allows you to use significantly less flavoring — no thickening agent required.

We offer both Propylene glycol (PG)-based flavors, as well as a line of all-natural flavors using fractionated coconut oil as the solvent. MCT oils, or Medium Chain Triglyceride compounds, are typically used in flavor development among other consumer products, such as vitamins, and are generally accepted as safe for consumption. All of our TasteBudds flavors are food grade products, non-GMO and GRAS. They can be used with our Isolated Terpenes and Terpene Blends, or alone.

MCT Oil Pros and Cons

PROS - MCT oil is all natural, has a more flexible usage rate, and is more widely accepted as a flavor base on the markets today.

CONS - MCT oil can have a "fatty" taste, and is in general not as tasty as PG. MCT based flavors also require more usage to get the same flavor impact compared to a PG based flavor.

PG Pros and Cons

PROS - Requires a lower usage rate compared to MCT based flavors. Higher flavor impact at lower usage levels. PG is a sugar derived molecule, and in turn has a sweeter and overall better taste than MCT oil.

CONS - PG has a negative market stigma because it is a synthetic product. PG can also have solubility issues at higher percentages.

To learn more about MCT, PG, and their usage in our products, check out our article, Understanding MCT Oil.

Yes! Our new TasteBudds Edible Flavors are meant specifically for gummies, candies, and edibles. These flavors were designed by credentialed flavor chemists with culinary and confectionary experts like you in mind.

Our Edible Flavors are three times as concentrated as other similar flavor oils found on the market today, minimizing the volume of flavoring you'll need in building your products.

Extract Consultants Bitter Blocker Flavor Modifiers subdue the unpleasant phenolic taste that CBD and other related cannabinoids impart in edible products. They are designed to work in tandem with our TasteBudds Edible Flavors to deliver flavor profiles consumers desire and mask the distastefulness of bitter molecules.

Designed for use in Gummies, Hard Candies, and Beverages—our bitter blocker technologies help reduce bitterness by up to 60% in specific applications.

Check out more info on our Bitter Blockers, and request a sample to try them out for yourself!

Both MCT and PG are food grade products, GRAS (generally recognized as safe), and have been used in the food industry for decades.

To learn more about MCT, PG, and their usage in our products, check out our article, Understanding MCT Oil.

To find out if TasteBudds flavors are recommended for your unique products, you can use our Getting Started Guide. This guide will ask you a few questions about you and your products, and will help you find out which of our products will be best suited for your products.

Our TasteBudds line of flavors is made up of MCT based flavors and PG based flavors.  They contain terpenes, flavonoids, and other aromatic compounds.

The MCT based flavors are made of different all-natural flavoring materials in a MCT base.  The PG based flavors are built with natural and artificial flavors with a PG base.

TasteBudds Flavors are undiluted and extremely concentrated. You don’t need a lot. Start by mixing at a low percentage and slowly increase for desired flavor. We recommend a 1-3% range of flavor product to oil, depending on which base you have chosen. 

To learn more about how to use our TasteBudds flavors in your product, visit our How to Use TasteBudds page.

To learn more on how to use our TasteBudds flavors in your products, check out our How to Use TasteBudds flavors page.

TasteBudds may exhibit color changes without any effects on taste or functionality due to exposure to oxygen, heat, light and other natural occurring variations within the source plant material. Store TasteBudds products correctly in a cool dry place to mitigate any color changes with your flavoring agents.

Our Remedies line of terpene and essential oil effect blends are built strategically and specifically for products that are focused on delivering desired effects in an end product. They are primarily designed for use in tinctures, topicals, and aromatherapy concepts.

Yes! Our Remedies Broad Spectrum Blends are terpene blends that were built with specific effects in mind. They're solvent free and contain a terpene profile that will help deliver the effect you're after.

Our Broad Spectrum Terpene Blends are built entirely with isolated terpenes, and are designed to represent the specific effect that they are named after, such as Calm or Energy. Utilizing only hand selected terpenes, these blends are sure to target the desired intended use very well.

Our Full Spectrum Essential Oil Blends are built entirely with high quality, all natural essential oils. Essential oils contain the entire terpene profile of each material, hence the title “full spectrum.” Not only that, our Full Spectrum blends contain the entire “essential oil profile” of the plant from which they were extracted, going beyond just the specific terpenes they produce.

To learn more about which of our Remedies blends will work best for your product, visit our Getting Started Guide, which will ask you a few questions and help guide you to our product line that will work best for you.

Our Entourage blends are highly potent terpene blends that are meant to be used in conjunction with our other Essential Terpenes or Remedies products as a way to introduce more of desired effect to a product.

These products have been designed to represent the broad categories of Indica, Sativa, Hybrid, and OG Kush. We have taken a large collection of data of each entourage definition and have come up with these very unique and creative blends that will impart a controlled effect for each product that they are paired with.

These terpene blends are meant to be used in very small amounts, and should not exceed 1% usage in any particular formula.
