Beta-Caryophyllene

Is Beta- Caryophyllene still in hash oil or has it been gassed off?

I understand that that's the main terpene that drug dogs are trained to detect.
 
I think it was b-Caryophyllene Oxide that they were using. b-caryophyllene has a boiling point of around 259C and is a lot of things, black pepper included.
 
Piperine is black pepper. I believe Caryophyllene is a essential oil found in rosemary hops and cannabis

I believe you should do better research or actually check it out personally:

Also called beta-caryophyllene or BCP, this terpene can be found in aromatic oils like rosemary and clove oil, and in nature it's most commonly found in hops, cloves, black pepper, oregano, cinnamon, and basil. It's responsible for the slight bite of pungency associated with smelling cracked pepper.Feb 5, 2019

From practical experience and knowledge, I know that it smells precisely like black pepper. I even have a vial of it in my dab stand, along with Linalool, b-Mycene, d-Limonene, Eucalytol, et al.

I have. But long ago.lol. This is just off memory here but piperine and its isomer chavicine, is the alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black pepper . Charophylene is a sesquterpene reminiscent of pepper and contributes to the pungent flavor of pepper .
So we're both kinda right

Ummmmm, I am not kinda right. It doesn't just contribute, it dominates the aroma of black pepper and is precisely what it smells like.

I also didn't say black pepper didn't have other terpenes, but then the subject was what is the dog sniffing for, not what all else is in black pepper.

Back to my original answer, as I understand it, it is b-Caryophylene Oxide that is used for training purposes. My first Google search found this:

Drug-sniffing dogs that can seemingly detect cannabis do so by being trained to react to the smell of Beta-Caryophyllene alone, due to its almost ubiquitous presence in cannabis strains. Specifically, they are trained to detect Caryophyllene oxide, a byproduct of the cannabis drying procedure.

Is this present in hash oil?
