This article presents the results of scientific studies carried out between 2022 and 2024 on the “Sengang” variety of ginger (Zingiber officinale) cultivated under the soil and climatic conditions of the Namangan region. The study investigated the chemical composition of ginger rhizomes dried using three different methods — sun drying, shade drying, and artificial (convective) drying. The effects of these drying methods on moisture, ash content, fiber, and mineral elements (calcium, phosphorus, iron) were analyzed. The results provide an important scientific basis for the effective processing of ginger in the pharmaceutical and food industries, improving product quality, extending shelf life, and preserving its bioactivity.
