Unifactorial design was adopted studying the type of dryer: open sun, oven, electric controlled conditions dryer, solar dryer with mesh shade (50% and 90%), and indirect solar dryer. Fresh leaves moisture content was 76.45% and water activity 0.995. The colorimetric analysis results were as follows: lightness 34.58,\n                      <jats:italic>a<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u221210.90,\n                      <jats:italic>b<\/jats:italic>\n                      22.14, chroma 22.14, and hue angle 119.50\u00b0. Chlorophyll content was 0.129\u00a0mg\/g dry weight, carotenoids 2.045\u00a0mg\/g dry weight, and ascorbic acid 403.742\u00a0mg\/100\u00a0g dry weight. Indirect solar drying and 90% mesh shade reached the highest chlorophyll content 6.814 and 6.052\u00a0mg\/g dry weight, respectively. Carotenoids showed an increase with oven drying (18.468\u00a0mg\/g dry weight), attributed to the short time of drying process. Antioxidant activity of dried leaves was from 90.606% to 94.924%. The lowest color difference (4.56) was obtained in solar drying (90% mesh shade). Indirect and 90% mesh shade solar drying better preserved the leaves properties, demonstrating the effectiveness of the solar drying method to produce high\u2010quality products for different applications. Although open sun drying is an economical technique, its benefits are partially diminished by various issues such as damage from rodents, birds, and insects; contamination from dust; exposure to rain; and the risks of either over\u2010drying or under\u2010drying.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Practical Application<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>According to the results from this investigation, indirect solar drying and solar drying using mesh shades are sustainable alternatives to preserve herbs that not only supply a characteristic flavor to food products but also have some therapeutic and medicinal effects that can become value\u2010added ingredients for various supplements, drugs, and medicinal products. We consider that this investigation made a great contribution and impact to the field of medicinal herb preservation and its applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This could benefit the producers to take advantage of the herbs they cultivate and promote their usage and commercialization with added value due to the health contributions that medicinal herbs could bring to possible consumers in addition to the use of easy, sustainable, and cheap equipment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1750-3841.70415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,18]],"date-time":"2025-07-18T13:12:20Z","timestamp":1752844340000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Study of Influence of Mixed\u2010Mode Solar Drying on Chlorophyll, Ascorbic Acid, Carotenoid, and Antioxidant Activity of Medicinal Leaves of\n                    <i>Ageratina<\/i>\n                    Variety\n                    <i>pichinchensis<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"90","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4508-1102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulina","family":"Guill\u00e9n\u2010Vel\u00e1zquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Secado Solar Instituto de Energ\u00edas Renovables\u2010UNAM Temixco Morelos M\u00e9xico"},{"name":"Estancias Posdoctorales por M\u00e9xico\u2010CONAHCYT  Mexico City M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5411-8264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfredo","family":"Dom\u00ednguez\u2010Ni\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Secado Solar Instituto de Energ\u00edas Renovables\u2010UNAM Temixco Morelos M\u00e9xico"},{"name":"Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda\u2010C\u00e1tedra CONAHCYT, Direcci\u00f3n Adjunta de Desarrollo Cient\u00edfico Mexico City"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Octavio","family":"Garc\u00eda\u2010Valladares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Secado Solar Instituto de Energ\u00edas Renovables\u2010UNAM Temixco Morelos M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"V\u00e1zquez\u2010Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Secado Solar Instituto de Energ\u00edas Renovables\u2010UNAM Temixco Morelos M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4209-4928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario","family":"Luna\u2010Flores","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda en Procesos Bioalimentarios Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica del Centro de Veracruz Cuitl\u00e1huac Veracruz"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fsufs.2023.1161961"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10942912.2024.2327335"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.24925\/turjaf.v7i6.919\u2010926.2548"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","volume-title":"Resource Management in Agroecosystems","author":"Arun M.
