Spices are natural plant products used to improve the flavour, aroma, taste and color of food products. They are also used in beverages, liquors, and pharmaceutical, cosmetic and perfumery products. Herbs are the group of plants consumed for macronutrients with savory and aromatic properties and are used for flavouring, garnishing of food and also for medicinal purpose. Thus, herbs and spices have been used for cooking and medicinal purpose.
According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) report, there are about 109 spices grown in different parts of the world. Based on plant parts, the spices are classified into leaf, root, bulb, fruit, seed, etc. Further, based on economic importance spices are classified into major spices and minor spices. Major spices include Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), Chilli (Capsicum annum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), turmeric (Curcuma longa), cardamom (Amomum subulatum) and others. Minor spices include Ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi), celery, parsley, dill caraway (Carum carvi), black cumin (Nigella sativa), black caraway and others. Based on climate requirement of the crop, spices are divided into tropical, subtropical and temperate spices. Herbs include oregano, thyme (Thymus vulgaris), basil (Ocimum basilicum), Mint (Mentha aquatic), rosemary and others.
The herbs and spices are processed and used in the form of powder & granules, oleoresins, extracts, paste or these are consumed whole or fresh.
During the post-harvest period, spices and aromatic herbs, like other agricultural goods, are susceptible to a wide spectrum of biological and chemical contamination. Traditional drying of spices and aromatic herbs on the floor associated with unhygienic conditions exposed them to chemical and microbial contamination by heavy metal. Moreover, the spices can be contaminated by other toxic substances, such as the aflatoxins that can be produced through the presence of Aspergillus flavus.
The postharvest handling operations of the spices includes operations such as washing, peeling, pricking, blanching and others. Spices invariably contain high moisture (55-85%) at the time of harvest, which must be brought down to 8-12%. Furthermore, spices also vary in shape, texture, size, colour, etc. as they may be fruits, berries, barks, seeds, leaves, rhizomes, roots, flower parts, etc. Therefore, their pre-treatment such as curing, cleaning, and methods of processing also vary considerably. Processed plant materials should be packaged as soon as feasible to prevent product quality degradation and to defend against pest assaults and other sources of contamination. Processed plant materials should be packaged in clean, dry boxes, sacks, bags or other containers according to the standard operating procedures and national and/or regional regulations of the producer and the end-user countries.
Moreover, quality storage is an important step in post-harvest handling operations both on-farm and off-farm, with cool stores and warehousing facilities linked to post-harvest crop management. It is essential that the moisture level of the spice to be stored is at a safe level before storage. This is usually below 10% moisture.
Herbs and spices are foods that are rich source of bioactive molecules such as sulphur-containing compounds, tannins, alkaloids, phenolic diterpenes, and vitamins, especially flavonoids and polyphenols Spices and herbs such as clove, rosemary, sage, oregano, and cinnamon are excellent sources of antioxidants with their high content of phenolic compounds.
Currently, several herbs from the Mediterranean are used in European cuisines. The most common are bay leaf, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, savory, and thyme, all of which can be produced in a cool temperate environment.
Similarly, Spices are an important group of food items in Europe, with a significant impact on nutrition and food technology. They are mostly employed in gastronomy, home cookery, and industrial to mold the sensory characteristics of food.
This increasing consumer demand was bolstered by social media promotion. As a result, Europe has become one of the world's largest herb and spice importers. It imports nearly a fourth of the world's total herb and spice imports.
In addition, the European countries are more inclined towards spicy food which in turn raises the demand for herbs and spices in Europe. According to the center for the promotion of imports from developing countries, overall, the demand for herbs and spices in Europe can be forecasted to increase by an average rate of roughly 0 to 3% per year in the coming years.
As a result, the rising demand for herbs and spices in Europe stimulates the growth of the herbs and spices market in the projected period.

Spices and herbs, both powdered and granule, are flexible in that they can be applied before or after cooking and will contribute a pleasant flavor in either case. Herbs and spices, particularly in powdered form, are commonly used in bean dishes, sauces, sausages, and stews, as well as in meat and seafood dry-rub seasoning mixes.

Several herbs and spices can be made into pastes. It's made by including water into the grinding process. Fresh pureed or paste forms contain strong tastes and should be thoroughly combined before being used in sauces, soups, or gravies. Because pastes typically include oil, they can get rancid in a short amount of time.
Most individuals prefer to use herbs and spices in whole and fresh form. Herbs that are better when fresh include soft, tender, and leafy herbs such as basil and cilantro. Whole herbs and spices are commonly used in lengthy cooking because there is plenty of time for the flavor to be extracted and spread throughout the food.
