What terpene degradation really means

“Degradation” is a bucket term for a few different processes:

• Evaporation (volatilization): Many terpenes are highly volatile, meaning they readily leave the plant material and disperse into air—especially when warm. A storage study on terpene-infused pre-rolls showed terpene evaporation rates rise with higher temperatures and stronger light exposure.

• Oxidation: Oxygen can react with terpenes and other compounds over time, changing the aroma profile and potentially dulling the experience.
