Abstract:

Drying is a very basic fundamental method of food preservation. Moisture is removes from the food materials during drying which check the growth of various microorganisms as well as restricts the metabolic changes and ensures the longer shelf life without deterioration of quality. Sun and shade drying are most commonly used drying techniques and very economic, however, mechanical types of drying techniques have number of advantages at commercial level. Each and every drying technique has its own goodness and the maximum retention of quality is dependent on the nature of dried materials. Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are popularly known for its presence of specific bioactive compounds and demand of plant-based medicine are increasing exponentially worldwide. Quality maintenance is most concern in this plant group, but due to the limitations or lack of knowledge in post-harvest process including drying the quality is not maintained as required in pharmaceutical industries or ayurvedic medicine. This chapter is focuses on the recent advances in the field of various drying techniques used in MAPs and its impact on conservation of bioactive compounds.
