摘要
This paper focuses on the effects of three thermal drying methods (microwave-, oven- and sun-drying) and one nonthermal drying method (freeze-drying) on the AOP of leaves of Vitex negundo and Vitex trifolia, which are consumed traditionally as herbal tea. Microwave-drying and freeze-drying were found to be able to maintain the AOP of the leaves but oven-drying and sun-drying resulted in deterioration of AOP. Microwave-drying has the advantage of short drying time and low water activity. AOP of Vitex herbal tea leaves that are microwave-dried and freeze-dried were not affected by storage up to 30 days.
