A series of studies were conducted to determine the most effective desiccants for the embedded drying process of chrysanthemum flowers (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.), aiming to enhance their display quality. The experiment followed a factorial completely randomized design, considering five different desiccants: silica gel, borax, alum powder, river sand, and sawdust. Additionally, four drying temperatures were tested, namely room temperature (21°C), 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C. The results indicated that the treatment using silica gel as the embedded medium at 50°C exhibited the maximum reduction in flower weight (5.78 g). Conversely, the treatment with river sand as the embedded medium at 45°C showed the minimum reduction in flower weight (1.97 g). As for flower diameter reduction, the treatment involving sawdust as the embedded medium at 45°C resulted in the maximum reduction (1.60 cm), while the treatments utilizing alum powder as the embedded medium at 40°C (0.81 cm) and river sand as the embedded medium at room temperature (0.87 cm) displayed the minimum diameter reduction.
