forms of processing in the short term. For drying technology, this means that only the methods that yield appropriate quality

of the nal products may have good practical potential. Research should be dedicated to thedevelopment of proper drying processes. Improvement

of existing as well as introductionof new drying techniques are equally important aspects of research. It is well known thatspices

have not only avor effect on food, but some antioxidant and microorganisminhibition activity too. Proper drying techniques have to be

applied to each individual product to assure its highest quality. Energy and environmental aspects of this process should also be considered. REFERENCES 1. . . Van Arsdel, . . Copley, and . .
