摘要 [Objectives] To investigate suitable drying methods for Fritillaria cirrhosa bulbs of different diameters. [Methods] In this study, we analyzed the appearance of F. cirrhosa bulbs and powder under different diameters and drying processing methods. [Results] The bulbs dried naturally were dark with faintly brown color whereas those that were dried using hot-air and vacuum methods were pale yellow or off-white color. The L* values of the powdered F. cirrhosa group subjected to hot air drying and vacuum drying were significantly higher than those of the naturally dried group. [Conclusions] Hot air drying at 35-40 ℃ as a processing method for F. cirrhosa production regions can maintain the color of bulbs and powder.
