The Relation between Drying Conditions and the Development of Volatile Compounds in Saffron (<i>Crocus sativus</i>)

Saffron is derived from the stigmas of the flower <i>Crocus sativus</i> L. The drying process is the most important post-harvest step for converting <i>C. sativus</i> stigmas into saffron. The aim of this review is to evaluate saffron’s post-harvest conditions in the developm...
