This study aims to comprehensively investigate the effects of hot-air dehydration on the quality of blue honeysuckle berries ( L.). The results demonstrated that drying with hot air at 40-65 °C for 7-72 h resulted in blue honeysuckle berries with a moisture content of 0.21-1.10 g HO/g dry weight. Generally, low to medium temperatures (40-55 °C) showed a better effect on the quality than high temperatures (60-65 °C). Specifically, drying at 40 °C exclusively resulted in better retention of cuticular wax, the best sensory appearance, and the highest total phenolic content. Drying at 45 °C and 50 °C resulted in the highest antioxidant capacity and the optimal sensory flavor. Drying at 55 °C led to the highest soluble solid/acid ratio, ascorbic acid concentration, total flavonoid, and total anthocyanin. The work introduces an innovative raw berry product and provides a comprehensive practical and theoretical framework for convective dehydration of blue honeysuckle berries.
