Characteristics Of Passion Flower Herbal Tea (Passiflora Edulis F. Flavicarpa) On Various Drying Temperature

Abstract

Passion flowers can be processed into herbal tea by drying because they contain flavonoids and
ansiolytic effects. Drying temperature is an important factor because it can affect bioactive
compounds present in materials. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of drying
temperature on the characteristics of passion flower powder herbal tea and determine the drying
temperature that can produce the best passion flower powder herbal tea. This study used the Group
Randomized Design by drying temperatures divided into three levels: 50-2°C, 60-2°C, and 70-2°C.
Based on the implementation time, to do this, it can be grouped into 5 times which then obtain 15 test
units. The data obtained are analyzed in the variant and if it affects the observed variables, a (BNJ) is
performed. The results of the analysis indicate that drying temperature has a very real effect on
extract content in water, total ash content, crude fiber content, total phenol, total flavonoids,
antioxidant capacity, and panelist preferences for overall product acceptance. The study found that
the drying temperature treatment of 60–2°C was the best treatment produced by herbal tea with
characteristics: water extract content 44.28%, total ash content 7.85%, crude fiber content 16.29%,
total phenolic content 58.53mg GAE/g, total flavonoid 41.55mg GAE/g, antioxidant capacity 21.81 mg
GAE/g, and the overall acceptance score of 4.10. dihasilkan teh herbal dengan karakteristik: kadar ekstrak pada air 44,28%, kadar abu total 7,85%,
