## Background: Owing to the increasing trend of consumption of ready-to-use leafy vegetables, the necessity of determining the best conditions for their frozen storage and the considerable impact of freezing on their sensory attributes, research was carried out to determine the best freezing temper
of these herbs. There was maximum retention of ascorbic acid in microwave blanched marjoram and rosemary (21.5, 33.0 mg/100 g) i s . 79.4% and 49.9% compared to fresh herbs. Blanching resulted in better retention of the original green colour of the fresh herb compared to direct drying of the herbs.
