This paper considers the study of the composition and development of technology for drying the fruit of the medicinal plant "spiny capers - Capparis spinosa L." grown in the Namangan region (Uzbekistan). The conducted experiments proved the presence in the composition of the medicinal plant fruit "spiny capers - Capparis spinosa L." of vital vitamins, macro- and microelements. For ease and convenience of transportation, as well as for long-term storage, a technological drying process has been developed to dry the fruit of the medicinal plant "spiny capers - Capparis spinosa L." The process of drying the fruit of the medicinal plant "spiny capers - Capparis spinosa L." was carried out at the installation of a multi-belt dryer by supplying a heat carrier with a temperature of 55-60°C for 120-180 minutes. Hot air is used as a heat carrier. Also, the optimum temperature for drying the fruit of the medicinal plant "spiny capers - Capparis spinosa L." was studied. As a result of the experiments, it was shown that burning in the fruits of spiny capers medicinal plant is observed when dried at a temperature of 80°C and above. It has also been proven that the drying temperature of the fruit of the studied medicinal plant in the range of 60-70°C is optimal.
