Table 2 Mean terpenoid and related compound concentrations of cannabis stored in ambient atmosphere or N₂ modified atmospheric packaging. Means that differ significantly (P < 0.05) after storage or between treatments are marked with an asterisk. Those means with different superscript letters are significantly different as determined by Fisher’s least significant difference and indicate difference across each row. The Δ column indicates the direction of change between days 18 and 74 when it was significant
