There have been many studies on Linalool and essential oils containing it. One such study (“Antidepressant activity of Litsea Glaucescens essential oil: identification of β-pinene and Linalool as active principles") suggest that Linalool and beta pinene in certain essential oils contribute to a sedating and anti-depressant effect.

Traditional use of Lavender leaves and Bergamot peels and oils suggest that materials containing Linalool and Linalyl Acetate enhance a feeling of well being and relaxation when inhaled or consumed in teas and cuisine. Lavender and lavender products are used and enjoyed in everyday life not only in the bath and shower but also on the massage tables spas all over the world…linalool is in lavender and lavender is usually associated with relaxation and well being. It is possible that cannabis strains enriched with larger amounts of linalool, especially in harmony with Beta-pinene and myrcene, might lend themselves more towards chillin' rather than thrillin'.

Extract Consultant’s line of terpene blends and terpene flavors are specifically designed to work directly with oil based products. Each terpene blend has an average add back range of .5%-3%. This can vary quite a bit based on preference, so in general you should start low and work your way up. You can always add more!
1. Prepare your material and Calculate add back rate.
- Warm up your oil as you normally would.
- Calculate how much of our Essential Terpene Blends you will need to use by weight. Always measure by weight, and never by the drop.
- We will use an example of a 50g batch, and an add back rate of 3%. Using a calculator, input 50 X 0.03 (3%.) You should get an answer of 1.5g.
2. Weigh your terpenes and set aside in preparation for mixing.
- Next, take a Pyrex beaker and a scale that is accurate to at least 0.00 decimal places.
- Place beaker on the scale and using the same example of 3% usage in a 50g batch, carefully weigh out 1.5g of your Essential Terpene Blend, using a disposable plastic pipette.
- Set aside in preparation for mixing.
3. Remove oil from heat and allow it to cool.
- Let your material cool down enough so that you can still manipulate it. Your oil should at the very most be 100°F at the time of adding terpenes.
4. Add and mix.
- Once your material is at 100°F or less, it is time to add back the 1.5g of terpenes.
- Pour them into your oil product and using either a Magnetic Stir bar or a hand tool, mix the solution for up to 20min.
5. Wait, and taste.
- Many people make the mistake of tasting the product right after mixing. It is always better to let the solution sit for 24 hours.
- Once it has steeped for a day, and it has passed your visual test, you may apply it to whichever end product the material is going into and give it an official taste test.
6. Record your formula, and move to production
- Once you are satisfied with your end product, it is ready to go into production.
- If this is the first time you have developed this product, be sure to document your add back rate for each terpene product for future use.
Note: Always store your finished product between 60° and 75°. This will help prevent separation, crystallization, and oxidation.
