It is perceived that cannabinoids and terpenes are the only important compounds produced by cannabis, however flavonoids are account for roughly 10% of the compounds found in cannabis. The flavors and aromas of cannabis is attributed to terpenes. However, flavonoids also play an important role in providing the distinguishing qualities we use to differentiate between strain varieties. Both odor and flavor are possible in cannabis due to the synergistic qualities that terpenes and flavonoids share with one another. In this presentation we are going to show the concentration different flavonoids in the various cannabis products whether they are flower, derivatives or edible. We also going to show if there is any relationship between the amount and type of terpenes and cannabinoids in these samples, would that make it a good candidate to study Synergistic effect these compounds for their health effects.
