Postharvest changes in cannabis volatile terpenes under nitrogen packaging

EastCann, a small group of legacy cannabis growers, uses nitrogen packages for postharvest storage of dried cannabis. There is concern that nitrogen packaging adversely affects volatile terpenes and cannibinoids, each of which are important to cannabis products. This project will examine postharvest changes in terpenes and cannabinoids over time in nitrogen packaging compared to ambient atmospheric packaging. If nitrogen packaging significantly decreases postharvest quality, then the industry may elect to pursue alternative forms of preservation.
