PEMANFAATAN KULIT BUAH NAGA MERAH (Hylocereus polyrhizus) SEBAGAI TEH HERBAL
Abstract: The purpose of this
research was to obtain the best combination of drying time and drying
temperature to produced herbal tea from dragon fruit peel which have high
antioxidant. This research was carried experimentally using a Completely
Randomized Design (CRD) two factorials;drying time (18, 21 and 24 hours);
drying temperature(40°C, 50°C and 60°C) and three replication. Data obtained
were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued
with DNMRT test at 5% level. The result showed that drying time and drying
temperature significantly influenced the moisture and ash contents, and
significantly affected the IC50 value. The best treatment in this research was
drying time 18 hours; 50°C with moisture content 14.03% (w/w), ash content 14.23%
(w/w), IC50 Value 2.713 ppm, flavorful red dragon fruit peel, rather sepat
