section:<\/strong><\/h5><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a01- Traditional Iranian drying method:<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0In the traditional method of Iran, saffron is dried in the shade or in warm and dry rooms for 8 to 12 days.\u00a0 This type of saffron drying requires a long time for drying, and for this reason, during it, the coloring power may decrease, pollution may increase, and the growth of microorganisms and enzymes may occur.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a02- Spanish method of drying:<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0In this method, saffron is placed on a sieve with a silk net to dry.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0The required temperature of this method is 50 to 60 degrees Celsius.\u00a0 About 30 to 60 minutes of indirect heat will be enough for this method.\u00a0 Unlike the traditional method or drying in the open air, the coloring of saffron does not decrease in this method, and the possibility of fungal contamination and growth of microorganisms is also less.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3- Industrial method of drying:<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0In the industrial method, drying systems are used.\u00a0 These systems are of two types:<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dryers with air circulation<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0In this type of drying system, hot air is in direct contact with saffron.\u00a0 The most important type is the tunnel dryer.<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Conveyor and vacuum dryers<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0These types of dryers dry saffron in the form of a conveyor without direct heat radiation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50
