Terpene Transfer to Milk from Fresh Hemp

Terpene transfer to milk from fresh leaves of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) and savory (Satureja hortensis L.)

“Key terpenes such as α-farnesene, β-caryophyllene, and p-cymene were transferred to milk.

The results demonstrate that terpenes can be transferred to milk in a compound-dependent manner, with hemp producing the highest absolute terpene concentration in milk.

This research supports the application of terpene-rich plants in dairy diets to enhance milk quality, trace-ability, and value, contributing to more sustainable and differentiated dairy production systems.”
