Advancing freeze drying as an innovative technique for preserving Kashmiri saffron (Crocus sativus L.)

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of different freeze-drying (FD) temperatures (-50 °C, -60 °C, -70 °C, and − 80 °C) on quality parameters of saffron stigmas. The physicochemical properties (moisture, ash content, and water activity), color profile, thermal stability, antioxidant capacity, to...
