Absolutely nobody cares about that, that is obvious. Nobody asked if it can preserve, we not idiots we know that. We said the mono layer of purified water it adds in the trichrome to bind the terpenes underneath it locks it so food thar u loose your smell and alters your flavor. Our Lab at Biotek Engineering under a strict statistical study shows it. Boveda personel says on their Yt page once you break open the bud to smoke it the terpenes will break out of the mono layer of purified water and the aroma or terpenes will present itself but in our study it showed this is not true 73% of the time. In 27 of our 30 test samples across 30 different parameters it took the terpenes 16 hours to break out the mono layer of purified water. We found it took 16 hours and it didn't break out, the bud dried and evaporated the mono later of purified water and only then was the terpenes able to escape and reveal itself. Being bound behind the mono layer of purified water and salt the flavor had changed, it somehow affected the flavornoids found within the capitate-sessile, capitate-stalked, and bulbous trichromes. Boveda responded to me "Sr. Engineer btw" when I confronted them with data and they admitted that the taste is altered by the salt but the high isn't which is technically correct. However, the Flavornoids and Terpenes were altered for the worst and Boveda said that's the intent to preserve the high. Therefore we will never use those things again. It destroyed our smell and taste.
