Qualitative and quantitative changes in the essential oil of sage (Salvia hydrangea DC exBenth.) as affected by different drying methods

Background & Aim: Salvia hydrangea is one of the medicinal plants belonging to Lamiaceae family. Medicinal plants can be marketed as fresh or dried products; however aromatic plants are often dried before extraction to reduce moisture content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different drying methods on qualitative and quantitative changes in essenti...
