Abstract

Beauty of fresh flower always attract the mankind from dawn of civilization. It may because of the attractive, charmness of flower which is mainly due to the colour of flower. The scope of utility and importance of flower have been realized throughout the world. Dehydration technique has enabled to preserve certain flowers and foliages in such a way that their fresh look appearance is maintained for several months or even years until in natural processing of drying will fade the flower colour. Dried and preserved plant materials are increasingly popular for home décor. Colour of dried flower should be maintained is a very difficult task and important issue for best production of value added product. Aesthetic value of various artistic arrangements depends on the colour intensity of dried flower. Colour plays an important role, affected slightly or in negligible amount in dehydration. For a best value addition it is necessary to know the suitability of technique. The present paper concerned with the change in the behaviour of different colour of flower during dehydration. The results of this study clearly indicate that behaviour of flower colour after dehydration was not only dependent on the specific category of colour but also it may be internal and ultra structural, factors too.
