“…However, usually flowers are harvested just before they are fully open and the colour has not faded (Padmavathamma, 1999). The dry grasses, seeds, pine cones and most seed heads are harvested at full maturity stage at the end of their growing period (Sankari and Anand, 2014). Harvesting of flowers and foliage at suitable stage is helpful in storage and utilization for drying industry.…”

“…Potpourri production require a "fixative", for absorbing the aromatic oils and slowly releasing them. Dried flowers and its value-added products have great demand in global markets (Sankari and Anand 2014). There is growing ecoconsciousness towards the use of natural and organic colours (Sankat and Siddique, 2008) for dyeing as natural dyes are non-toxic and do not create environmental problems due to their biodegradable nature (Grover and Patni, 2011).…”

Consumer acceptance of naturally dried decorative materials is fairly good. Left-over floriculture produce can be turned into value-added eco-friendly products like Potpourri. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of dried-petals of roses to obtain and retain diverse colour shades for production of potpourri. Dip-dyeing method was employed for tinting of dried rose-petals for potpourri-production. Results have shown that potpourri tinted with edible-dyes and mixed with essential-oils could be commercially produced on a large scale for greater consumer acceptability. Present study confirmed that tinting of dried rose-petals with edible-dyes can enhance the value of potpourri by providing a hue of colours and it helps farmers in earning more returns. Potpourri is a 100 per cent natural product and can be effectively used to combat the detrimental effects of synthetic-fragrances or artificial air-freshners. Bangladesh J.

Flower is an integral part of human life and day by day the demand is increasing throughout the world. Though fresh flowers look attractive and become scented but it can’t be stored for long time, so, dry flower is the substitute of fresh flowers. Dry flowers are easy tohandle and it can be stored for a long time, hence, available for year roundsupply and post-harvest losses are very low.Twenty three different techniques can be applied for dry flower production, such as - Sun drying, shade drying, sand drying, silicagel drying, borax drying, corn meal drying, alum drying, glycerol drying, hot air oven drying, embedded drying in hot air oven, solar cooker dryingand embedded drying in solar cooker. The colours of initial fresh flowers were matched with RHS (Royal Horticulture Society) Colour Chart and observed as -Yellow group 7(A) and finalcoloursof dried flowers were observedas - T1 (22-B), T2 (15-D), T5 (22-B), T8 (14-C), T9 (15-B), T18 (19-A), T20 (22-A), T21 (18-C), T22 (18-B) meant Yellow orange group and T3 (13-B), T16 (13-B), T4 (11-A), T6 (9-B), T11 (9-B), T7 (13-C), T14 (13-C), T10 (10-A), T12 (8-A), T13 (12-A), T15 (12-A) meant Yellow group. Last two treatments like T17 (163-A) and T23 (162-A) showed Grey orange group. Maximum reduction infresh weight was noticed under T10(1.35g) treatment and minimum with T8(0.35g) treatment. The minimum days required for drying wasobserved under T5(4.17days) and T7(4.17days) treatments and maximum days requiredby T2(22.17days) treatment. Least moisture reduction in the finished product was observed in T8 (31.41%) whereas the moisture reduction was found highest inT10 [89.21(70.83)%] treatment.
