Abstract

Sorted picked curry leaves were analysed for chemical composition and then dried either in the sun (33 degree C), in cross-flow driers (55-58 degree C), in through-flow driers (55-58 degree C) or vacuum-shelf driers (50 degree C). Changes in moisture content, volatile oil yield and colour were determined. Results are tabulated. Yield of volatile oil was greater from dried leaves than fresh leaves. Vacuum-shelf drying gave the best green colour, but sun drying tended to blacken the leaves. TLC and GLC patterns are given for the oil. Caryophyllene, alpha-pinene and beta-pinene were identified as constituents.
