        Introduction: Basil contains high phenolic compounds and its seeds contain mucilages. By investigation the essential oils of this plant, and especially its phenylpropanoid compounds, have been identified as the main medicinal product. Materials and Methods: In this research, basil leaves were dried by three methods: shadow, drying oven method at 40 and 60° C and microwave method at 180 and 360 W. In order to increase the heat transfer in short time some effective factors concerned with the leaves, namely moisture, iron, potassium,vitamin C and polyphenol contents were determined. Results: The first stage of drying rate is constant and controlled by external factors, was seen only in the shadow drying method. In two other methods, this stage has been almost eliminated.  Forced convection heat transfer coefficients is higher than natural convection coefficient. Therefore in the oven drying method, mass transfer rate is higher than the other methods. With increasing microwave power, drying time decreased. The determined amounts of iron, potassium and vitamin C showed that there is a significant difference between different drying methods (P <0.05). The longest drying time was in shadow with1800 minutes and the highest amount of vitamin C, iron and phenolic compounds was in the dried treatment in the shade. Conclusion: According to the results, it can be stated that the drying of the basil leaf using shade drying and microwave drying at 180 W, are desirable because the amount of active ingredients in the plant is considerably retained.

        Introduction: Dried garlic with various nutritional and medicinal values is used in foodindustry as flakes or powder. The nutritional and medicinal properties of garlic are attributedto Allicin. This substance (a compound of Tyosulfinates) is produced enzymatically aftercrushing. Since the temperature affects the enzymatic action that results in pirovic acid andallicin. The size and temperature are two critical factors to prevent color change and reduceallicin and pirovic acid present in garlic during drying process.Materials and Methods: This study investigated the effects of sample size and temperatureon qualitative characteristics such as color of powder and pirovic acid and alicin retention in aconvective hot-air dryer. For this reason whole and half and minced Shushtar garlics (Alliumsativum L.) were dried at air temperatures of 50 and 70°C with the relative humidity of 22%.Results: According to the obtained results by increasing the temperature from 50 to 70 °C thecolor of half garlic have changed and allicin and pirovic acid have been increased. Thequantity of pirovic acid and color of the minced samples were not affected significantly by thetemperature of drier but allicin content of minced samples were reduced by increasedtemperature. Whole garlic dried at 70 °C was not affected by change in color but thequantities of present allicin and pirovic acid were reduced considerably.Conclusion: According to the findings in this research work the condition that the halvedsamples were dried at 70 °C could be regarded as the best condition for producing garlicpowder.

        Introduction: Decrease of moisture content to safe level in order to reach maximum maintenance is the principle goal of drying agricultural products. Parameters of temperature and air velocity are considered the main important factors in drying process. Mathematical modeling of drying process is used to design and improve available drying system and also to control the process. Materials and Methods: In this research, the effect of temperature (40, 50, 60 and 70 ºC) and air velocity (2 and 3 m.s-1) changes on drying time and rate of drying peanut using hot air dryer has been studied. Moisture variations during drying process under different conditions were fitted using various mathematical models including Newton, Two-term, Midili, Page, Modified Page and Logarithmic. Results: Factors of temperature and air velocity had significant effects on the drying time and the rate of drying (P<0.01). Conclusion: Effect of temperature on the drying process was considerable, therefore an increase in this parameter led to a 67.8% decrease in time and a 109% increase in drying rate. The maximum influence of air velocity on drying time and rate was 37.3 and 20.9%, respectively. Moisture variations during the drying process were well fitted to a two-term model(R=0.999).   Manuscript profile

          Introduction: One of the new techniques in the drying of food is the application of infrared radiation that increases the drying rate, enhanced the final product quality, and decreases the costs of the process. Materials and Methods: In this study, drying kinetic modeling of strawberry in an infrared dryer was investigated. The effect of radiation lamp power (150, 250 and 375 W) and distance of the lamp from the sample (5, 7.5 and 10 cm), on drying time, and moisture diffusion coefficients during the drying process of strawberry were evaluated. For measuring the weight of the samples during experimentation without taking them out of the dryer, the tray with samples was suspended on the digital balance. Standard models (Wang and Singh, Henderson and Pabis, Approximation of diffusion, Page, Modified Page –II, Newton, Midilli and Logarithmic) were fitted to experimental data to study the drying kinetics and fitting quality (coefficient of determination and standard error) of them was analyzed. Results: By increasing infrared lamp power from 150 to 375 W, the drying time of strawberry is reduced by 79.8%. Decreasing the distance of the lamp from a sample from 10 to 5 cm, 40.1 % of drying time is reduced. The effective diffusivity coefficient was increased by increasing heat source power and decreasing distance. Moisture effective diffusivity coefficient of strawberry was between 1.54×10-9 to 13.83×10-9 m2/s. Conclusion: The effect of radiation lamp power and distance on the drying process of strawberry is significant. Modeling of strawberry drying process showed that all the models led to proper results, but in total, the Page model, compared to other studied models, with the biggest coefficient of determination (R2=0.999) and the smallest error (<0.011), had closer results to the experimental data.

        Water transfer in plant tissues is a complex phenomenon. The cell wall and plasma membrane are permeable to water and the amount of water exchange among cells and the intercellular space mainly depends on the amount of intracellular water pressure and the viability of the cell membrane. The movement of water within the plant tissues includes simultaneous heat and mass transfer and therefore the thermophysical properties of the plant tissue plays an important role in this transition. Capillary pressure, intrinsic permeability, relative permeability, effective moisture diffusivity, and thermal conductivity are the key thermal and transport properties needed for comprehensive investigation of moisture transfer mechanism in plant tissue. The plant material can be considered as a porous medium in a non-steady state, which contains about 10 - 80% water. Molecular diffusion for gases (water vapor and air), capillary influence for the liquid (water) and advection mechanisms (Darcy flow) are used in the drying model in porous media. Thus, multiphase models can be used to study the water movement in plant tissues. In multiphase models of transmission mechanism, transfer of water into two types of liquid and gas is investigated simultaneously under the influence of temperature and other properties of plant tissue. In this article, the plant tissue is considered as a porous medium and the factors affecting the moisture transfer in these tissues are discussed. Manuscript profile

        Consumption of large amounts of fruits and vegetables throughout the world, have encouraged the development of various methods for their processing. Drying is considers as the most common method for preservation of vegetable and fruits. Although drying extend the shelf-life, it has various side effects on keeping quality of these foods; including decreasing of the color and texture quality as well as missing the flavor and nutritional values. These negative effects have increased the demand for the discovering the alternative drying methods and consequently for the production of fresh-like products. The aim of this study was to introduce and optimize the novel method for the drying of carrot as well as to develop and optimize the quality of osmo-air-dried carrots with special respect to the color, flavor, texture, rehydration properties, density and shriveling of the product. For this, the effect of osmotic pretreatment on the density of carrot slices was investigated, using 50% glucose syrup +5% salt at 40°C with 150 rpm, followed by complementary drying step. The result of treated group was compared with control samples which were dried only by hot-air-drier. The results showed that using osmotic pretreatment could increase the density through inhibition of the product's shrinkage. Meanwhile, in air-dried samples the density was decreased considerably and high shrinkage was also observed.   Manuscript profile

        Drying is the most common way to preserve medicinal and aromatic plants and protect their biochemical compounds. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different drying methods on the antioxidant and phytochemical activity of essential oil of aerial parts of Origanum vulgare L. subsp. gracile in 50 percentage of the flowering stage. This study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four treatments in three replications at Research Farm of faculty of Agriculture, Urmia University (1365 m above sea level) during 2016. The aerial parts of the plant were dried using four types of drying methods, including room temperature (20-23 °C), open air (direct sunlight), free air (shade) and oven temperature (40°C). The obtained essential oils by hydro-distillation  method were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Total phenol, total flavonoid, antioxidant activity (DPPH), superoxide radical scavenging activity, and nitric oxide radical scavenging activity were measured by Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (FCR), aluminum chloride, 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, Tris-HCl buffer, and Griess Illosvoy reaction respectively. Based on the results, there was significant difference among different drying methods. The highest amount of essential oil, total phenol content, total flavonoid, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and superoxide radical scavenging activity were observed in shade drying method. However, carvacrol and thymol as the main constituents of essential oil had the highest amount of drying in open air under direct sunlight. After carvacrol and thymol, compounds obtained in a shad-drying method including β-mersin, α-terpinene, γ-trypinene and M-simol had the highest amounts. We concluded that essential oil composition and antioxidant activity of oregano were greatly affected by the drying method and among the different methods of drying, shade drying was the best for the oregano plant to preserve its chemical composition.

        To investigate the effect of different drying methods on the Solidago virgaurea L., an experiment based on a completely randomized design with six treatments and three replications was conducted in 2018 in the Ecophysiology Laboratory of Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran. In this study, aerial parts of S. virgaurea L. was harvested from Sangdeh natural habitat located in Mazandan province at full flowering stage. The drying methods were shade and sun-drying (natural drying), oven-drying (40 and 50 °C), and microwave-drying (550 and 1000 watt). In all methods, drying of the plant materials was continued until the moisture content reached 10% (based on plant fresh weight). Methanolic extract was obtained from the dried samples and some secondary metabolites including content of total phenol, total flavonoid and leiocarposide were measured by Folin-Ciocalteu method, aluminum chloride method, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. The minimum (7 minutes) and maximum (60 hours) drying times were related to 1000 watt microwave drying and shade drying methods, respectively. The highest content of total phenol (30 mg Gallic acid /g DW) in shading drying treatment and the highest content of total flavonoids (7.95 mg Rutin/g DW) and leiocarposide (3.07 mg/g DW) was observed in the oven at 40 °C. In addition, active metabolites content decreased with increasing microwave power and oven temperature. In general, the correct choice of drying method depends on several factors, and among them, the type of active ingredient, optimal energy consumption and cost savings should also be considered.

        Mentha piperita, is a member of the Lamiaceae family commonly known as Peppermint an important medicinal plant. This plant is used as a flavoring in chewing gum, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. In this research, different accessions of this plant were collected from different regions of Iran. An experiment was conducted in 2021 year based on randomized complete block design to evaluate the phytochemical traits of these accessions in the half-flowering stage in Meshginshahr climatic condition. Their essential oils were extracted in the half-flowering and full-flowering stages by using clevenger apparatus. The results showed that there were significant differences among studied traits among. There are significant differences among accessions in traits of chlorophyll a, essential oil 50 and 100 percent flowering and oven (40 0C) drying method were significant at 1% probability level. There were no significant differences among anthocyanins, flavonoids, carotenoids, essential oil 50 and 100 flowering and drying method shade. Comparison of mean traits showed that the important traits such as anthocyanins (0.93-2.37 mg/g), flavonoids (0.94-2.95 mg/g), essential oil 50 flowering and drying method shade (0.44-2.06) and essential oil 100 percent flowering and oven, (0.72-3.09) were varied among accessions. Maximum correlation was shown between Chlorophyll b and carotenoids (0.98). The Ardabil, Zanjan and Hamedan were the best superior to other accessions. Therefore, superior accessions can be used in breeding programs in order to produce better cultivars in terms of essential oil content. Manuscript profile
