| dc.description.abstract | The purpose this study was to determine the ratio effect of celery with mana lagi
apple peel and proper drying time, to produce the best celery herbal tea. This study was designed
using a factorial completely randomized design with 2 factors, Ratio of celery leaves with apple
peel (P) were: Pi (100% : 0% ), P2 (75% : 25%), P3 (50% : 50 %), P4 (25% : 75 % ),
Ps (0% : 100%) and drying time at 50 °C for celery leaves with manalagi apple skin (T ): 2 hours,
3 hours, and 4 hours. The parameters anal ysed were moisture content, ash content, crude fiber,
extract content in water, vitamin C, phenol, color and organoleptic values (co lor , aroma,
taste, texture and general acceptance). The parameters observed for the best quality samples was
antioxidant content.
The results showed that the ratio of celery with manalagi apple peel of celery herbal
tea had a highlysignificant effect on moisture content, total phenol, color (L, 0 Hue),
organoleptic (aroma and general acceptance ) valu es. The drying time on herbal teas had a highly
significant effect on moisture content, vitamin C, total phenol, and color (L). Th e interacti on
of the ratio of celery with manalagi apple peel and dryin g time on herbal teas had a highly
significant effect on total phenol and had a significant effect on the color value
(L).
The best product was made of 50% celery leaves and 50% apple peel dried for 2 hours with an
antioxidant activity of 98,2289 µg/ml and it's classified as strong. | en_US |
