Abstract
Traditional postharvest practices being followed in Kashmir is main reason for quality deterioration and recovery loss.
Picking of 2-day-old flowers in lose baskets with pistil separation time of 10-12 h after flower picking improves saffron recovery to 37.5 g kg-1 of fresh saffron flowers.
Drying of saffron in vacuum, solar or hot air scientific dryers not only reduces drying time but improves colour by 97.3%, bitterness by 80% and flavor by 71.11%.
