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.

โฆ Synopsis
Fresh marjoram volatiles contained mostly (97%) monoterpenes and to a small extent (3%) sesquiterpenes. The impact of drying methods, namely, convection and microwave drying on the flavour quality of the herb was studied. Cis-sabinene hydrate, trans-sabinene hydrate and terpinen-4-01 were found to be the major components responsible for the characteristic flavour of the herb. The Indian marjoram contained more of cis-sabinene hydrate (23.6%) compared to any other sample referred to in the literature and this compound was retained in the convection and microwave (175 W) dried samples to a great extent. Convection drying at -45 "C preserved the flavour quality of marjoram better than microwave drying.
