Optimising flavour in herbs

By AHDB Horticulture. 2018. 4 pages.

These technical reviews explain the chemical basis of flavour in herbs grown in the UK. They provide information explaining factors which can influence flavour, both positively and negatively, and give advice on growing practice and available technologies that growers could employ to maximise flavour while maintaining crop yields and quality.

Plant health and nutrition, available light and temperature during growth, harvest time and maintenance of cool chain temperatures are all to be considered, to maximise the flavour quality of herbs.
