Air-drying, microwave-drying, oven-drying and freeze-drying (lyophilisation) of plants samples: Air-drying usually takes from 3-7 days to months and up to a year depending on the types of samples dried (eg. leaves or seed). Plant samples, usually plants leaves with stem were tied together and hang to expose the plant to air at ambient temperature.
Moisture control is the most common method of medicinal plant preservation and it carries a substantial expense in medicinal plant production due to high investment and energy costs. Preservation of medicinal properties and consequent earnings are significantly influenced by the drying regime.
Drying is one of the most critical and fundamental unit operations in the post-harvest processing of medicinal plants. The quality of drug and consequently the earnings are significantly influenced by the drying regime. Energy demand of drying can also be a very significant factor because of high initial moisture content of the flowers, leaves ...

D. Drying medicinal plant parts Before drying the different parts of 1. Medicinal plants, they undergo some tests to be sure that: y moisture content of dried materials is <10%; y not moldy, without other pests, parts of other plants, nor stones and soil particles; y microbial count and heavy metals are within allowable amounts; poisonous
DRYING When medicinal plant materials are prepared for use in dry form, the moisture content of the material should be kept as low as possible in order to reduce damage from mould and other microbial infestation. Medicinal plants can be dried in a number of ways 1. In the open air (shaded from direct sunlight); 2.
medicinal plants. Drying process may also contribute to a regular supply and facilitate the marketing of plants, because drying results in reduction of the weight and volume of the plant with positive consequences for transport and storage (Calixto, 2000). For various medicinal plant species a …

With the new Law on Drugs and Medical Devices dated September 2007 and enacted in the Republic of Macedonia, dry or sometimes fresh parts of medicinal plants (herbal substances) may be used for preparation of herbal drugs, herbal processed products, and traditional herbal drugs. Herbal substances may also be utilized for manufacture of ...
The objective of drying medicinal plants is to extend the shelf life and conserving the fresh characteristics. This is achieved by reducing the water activity (aw) of the product to a value which will inhibit the growth and development of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, significantly reducing enzyme activity and the rate at which undesirable chemical reactions occur.
Medicinal plants are extracted and processed for direct consumption as herbal or traditional medicine or prepared for experimental purposes. The concept of preparation of medicinal plant for experimental purposes involves the proper and timely collection of the plant, authentication by an expert, adequate drying, and grinding.
Cultivation of medicinal plants is advantageous from many points of view, which include the following: It ensures a correct natural source of the drug. The process of collection and harvesting of the drugs can be effectively monitored under cultivation, i.e., they can be …
Drying of aromatic and medicinal plants is one of the main subjects of the seminars that Agricultural University of Athens organises in the area of Thessaly, Greece. We are very happy that the agriculturalist of OROS team was one of the main speakers! Konstantinos Gakis has been cultivating organic aromatic plants for more than ten years.

This allows us to have access to these medicinal herbs all year long. Drying (dehydrating) your herbs can be done in one of two easy ways at home. Herbs dry best in warm, shaded, well-ventilated areas. It is not recommended to dry them in the sun; the intense heat and rays of the sun can quickly degrade the plants medicinal constituents.
After cleaning, the medicinal plant must be reduced into smaller sizes and absolutely dried to avoid fungi. The plants can be naturally dried in direct sunlight or under shading, depending on the plant nature. This slow-drying method is likely to cause fungi, especially succulent tubers or rhizomes. Presently, the continued drying at 40-60°C ...
