Preservation of Nutritional and Functional Properties of Wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.) by Cast‐Tape Drying and Freeze‐Drying

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study shows that cast‐tape drying at 80°C yields wheatgrass powder with quality and phenolic retention like freeze‐drying, but in shorter time and with lower energy requirements. The results highlight CTD as a practical and efficient method for processing heat‐sensitive, chlorophyll‐rich ingredients.
