Brick weed is a curing and packaging method of cannabis cultivation that consists in drying the bud for a short period, if at all, and pressing it with a hydraulic press, compacting the whole plant (bud, stems and seeds) into a brick, hence the name brick weed. This method is mainly used in the top cannabis producing countries like Mexico and ...
Sun-curing tobacco involves simply drying the leaves uncovered in the sun until they are brown and withered. [8] This method is predominantly used in Turkey , Greece , Bulgaria , North Macedonia , Romania and throughout the Mediterranean basin to produce oriental tobacco, [ 9 ] however sun-cured tobacco is also produced in India and Africa as well.
Curing is a technique for preservation of (usually edible) vegetable material. It involves storing the material in a prescribed condition immediately after harvest. It involves storing the material in a prescribed condition immediately after harvest.

The spray drying technique was first described in 1860 with the first spray dryer instrument patented by Samuel Percy in 1872. [citation needed] With time, the spray drying method grew in popularity, at first mainly for milk production in the 1920s and during World War II, when there was a need to reduce the weight and volume of food and other materials.
The earliest form of curing was dehydration or drying, used as early as 12,000 BC. Smoking and salting techniques improve on the drying process and add antimicrobial agents that aid in preservation. Smoke deposits a number of pyrolysis products onto the food, including the phenols syringol , guaiacol and catechol . [ 9 ]
Vacuum microwave drying is used for the US Army's experimental Close Combat Assault Ration. [3] Freeze drying or lyophilization is a drying method where the solvent is frozen prior to drying and is then sublimed, i.e., passed to the gas phase directly from the solid phase, below the melting point of the solvent. It is increasingly applied to ...
Figure 4: Evolution in time of storage modulus G' and loss modulus G" during a curing reaction. A simple way to monitor the change in viscosity, and thus, the extent of the reaction, in a curing process is to measure the variation of the elastic modulus. [7] To measure the elastic modulus of a system during curing, a rheometer can be used. [7]
