Implication

This review evaluates drying methodologies and the impact on bioactive compounds in medicinal plants, suggesting improvements in quality.

Key Points

  • Drying methodologies significantly affect the retention of bioactive compounds in medicinal plants, impacting their therapeutic potential.
  • Post-harvest losses of medicinal plants in Asia can reach 10-40%, largely due to improper handling and storage of plant materials.
  • Understanding moisture transport mechanisms through kinetic models is crucial for improving drying processes and preserving compounds.
  • Addressing current challenges and gaps in research could lead to better herbal drug quality through optimized drying conditions.
