ABSTRACT
Herbal tea is a functional drink made from processed tea from a mixture of dried
herbs that have benefits for the body. This study aimed to obtain the selected ratio of
corn silk and Citronella to the quality characteristics of herbal tea in accordance with SNI
3836:2013. The research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized
design (CRD) with four treatments and four replications so that 16 experimental units
were obtained. The treatments in this study were the ratio of corn silk and Citronella,
namely RS0 (ratio of corn silk and Citronella 100:0), RS1 (ratio of corn silk and
Citronella 85:15), RS2 (ratio of corn silk and Citronella 70:30), and RS3 (ratio of corn
silk and Citronella 55:45). The parameters observed were moisture, ash, crude-fiber
contents, total phenol, antioxidant activity, and sensory assessment. Data were
statistically analyzed using analysis of varience (ANOVA) and then continued with
Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level. The results showed that the ratio of
corn silk and citronella significantly affected the value of moisture, ash, crude-fiber
content, and polyphenol contents, antioxidant activity, sensory evaluation. The treatment
of RS2 (ratio of corn silk and Citronella 70:30) was the chosen treatment which had
moisture content 6.25%, ash of 4.36%, crude-fiber of 9.34%, polyphenol of 58,28 mg
GAE/g or 5.82%, and antioxidant activity of 131.38 ppm. Descriptive sensory
