Drying kinetics and characteristics of Acori tatarinowii rhizoma under hot air thin-layer drying at different temperatures by Yingna Le, Kun Shi, Chengfu Wang, Jingying Guo, Yaohui Ye, Yuexing Ma, Ruiping Wang, Fangyan Cai, Shaolong Ma, Jinlian Zhang, Lingyun Zhong

“…Notably, methyl dodecanoate showed significantly higher concentrations at 65 °C than at 75 °C (P < 0.05). Overall, combined with the apparent properties of scanning electron microscopy and the color results of the colorimeter, thin-layer hot air drying at 65 ℃ can significantly enhance the final quality of ATR while preserving the odor profile and color properties and providing optimum medicinal characteristics. …”
