Pembuatan Teh Dari Daun Salam Denganvariasi Suhu Dan Waktu Pengeringan
ABSTRACT
Bay leaf tea is a herbal drink that has many benefits for human health as an anti-virus,
anti-oxidant and can reduce symptoms of hypertension and gout. This study aims to study
the effect of temperature variations and drying time in producing simple drugs and to
analyze the tea content of bay leaves and compare it with the SNI standard No. 01-3143-
2011. The method used is drying using an oven by varying the temperature and duration
of drying, namely 80°C, 90°C and 100°C and a drying time of 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The
parameters tested include pH, water content, vitamin C content and flavonoid test. A
temperature of 80°C and a time of 60 minutes gave the best results for vitamin C levels,
because the relatively low temperature, the longer heating duration actually helps maintain
the vitamin C content optimally. The results obtained are in accordance with the SNI No.
01-3143-2011 standard, namely pH 5, water content 2.91%, vitamin C 3.69 mg/100g
positive flavonoid content, produces clear tea color, not so strong aroma so that it produces
a taste that is liked by respondents. The length of drying time also greatly affects the quality
of the tea. The optimal drying time is 60 minutes at a temperature of 80°C, at which time
the tea has been perfectly cooked and all quality parameters meet the SNI No. 01-3143-
2011 standard. The resulting tea has a pH value, water content, vitamin C content,
flavonoid content and taste that are appropriate and stable. From this study, it can be
concluded that bay leaf tea has good potential as a herbal medicine that is worthy of
consumption.
