Abstract
Medicinal and aromatic plants play a significant role in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and traditional medicine. However, post-harvest management challenges, such as physical, chemical, biological challenges, loss of bioactive compounds, and quality degradation, can hinder the effectiveness and marketability of these plants. The challenges in post-harvest management of medicinal and aromatic plants can be rectified by recent innovations in drying, storage, packaging, and processing technologies that aim to improve the quality and sustainability of these valuable plants.
