Drying experiments were carried out at four air temperatures (40, 50, 60 and 70ºC) without and with ultrasound (21.7 kHz, 75W) application. The antioxidant capacity (AC) and the total phenolic content (TPC) of dried samples were assessed. Highest temperatures and ultrasound application significantly reduced drying time. Both factors affected the AC and TPC of dried samples. Thus, at 40 and 50 ºC the ultrasonically assisted dried samples showed higher AC and TPC than the conventionally dried ones.
