Background

Salicornia brachiata is a halophyte1
Holds great potential applications in food, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals due to its promising properties1
To reap the benefits of the plant, downstream processing is essentia_^l2,3

In this study, drying processes were evaluated, impacting the functional value

AIM: To investigate how different drying methods affect the phytochemical   content and bioactivity of S. brachiata using various bioassays

Conclusion
