NIODOR® – essential oil treatment for odor removal
During product development, intensive research was conducted and a full growth cycle with cannabis plants was completed.
All growth stages were investigated and both starting materials – seeds and cuttings – were used.
The plants were exposed to the essential oil throughout the entire growth cycle, including germination (seeds) and rooting (cuttings).
The experiments clearly demonstrated that:
- the treatment is in no way harmful to the plants
- the typical cannabis odor is greatly reduced or eliminated
- there is no negative impact on yield
- there is no negative impact on cannabinoid content
- there is no negative impact on terpene content
In all growth stages, the odor-removing effect of the oil blend used is very good.
The oil blend used has an intrinsic scent with a predominant lemon note. This is clearly perceptible and pleasant.
The typical cannabis odor is very well neutralized, leaving only a low level of the oil's own scent, but clearly no cannabis odor.
The odor neutralization also worked very well during the drying process.
Based on the chemical analysis of the cannabinoids and terpenes, it can be concluded that the oil treatment does not cause any negative effect (e.g., a decrease in cannabinoids).
Furthermore, a taste test showed that there was no significant influence on the taste of the dried flowers.
