Abstract

A medicinal aromatic plant “Eucalyptus Camaldulensis” was studied in order to study its properties thermodynamics and hygroscopic. The purpose of this study is to characterize (preservation and transformation) the product. Several drying experience were carried out in terms of kinetics of drying (kinetic study) and isotherms of sorption (thermodynamic study). It turns out that we have to present the equipments and the used methods.
