    This study investigates the phytochemical composition of galactagogue herbs, focusing on total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid contents (TFC) in banana inflorescence, white holy basil, Thai ginger, and a lactogenic product. It was found that TPC was higher than TFC in banana inflorescences, with the M1 method yielding the highest TPC. TPC and TFC decreased in banana inflorescence after five days of storage, while white holy basil showed a decrease due to heat intolerance. Conversely, TPC and TFC in Thai ginger increased upon dehydration. Pretreatment with maceration and press-shear force, especially when combined with moist heat, significantly enhanced bioactive content by increasing micro-pore volume and adsorption capacity.
