Abstract

This study was during the years 2009/2010- 2010/2011 in order to assess the best way to harvest, the best method for drying, packaging and also for drying and the impact on microbial load and content of volatile oil and the percentage of the active ingredients in mint oil in Spearmint.
The results showed that the best way to harvest is to harvest using sterile gloves so that the herb is traded total in clean plastic boxes. The results also confirmed that the best method for drying was solar drying and the best type of containers during storage was carton boxes packaging. On the other hand results showed that the volatile oil had less increase of active ingredients in the herb, the more storage period and also turns out that there is a steady increase in the rate of microbial load in the grass stock up storage period.
Conclusively, from the previous study showed a decrease in the percentage of essential oil and its components, as well as, increase microbial load with increasing storage period.
