Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu dan waktu pengeringan terhadap karakteristik kimia dan sensorik teh daun bambu Tabah. Penelitian ini dirancang menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan dua faktor, yaitu faktor suhu pengeringan (50o C dan 60o C) dan faktor waktu pengeringan (1 jam, 2 jam, dan 3 jam). Perlakuan diulang tiga kali untuk mendapatkan 18 unit percobaan. Parameter yang diamati adalah kadar air, pH, total asam, total fenol, dan organoleptik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi suhu dan lama pengeringan daun teh bambu Tabah memiliki pengaruh berbeda nyata terhadap kadar air, pH, total asam, total fenol, warna, penerimaan keseluruhan, tetapi tidak memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda nyata terhadap aroma dan rasa, dengan perlakuan terbaik ini, kadar air, pH, asam total, fenol total, warna, aroma, rasa dan penerimaan keseluruhan ditemukan kadar air 6,881%, pH 6,6, total asam 0, 73%, total fenol 84,01mg / 100g, warna 4,33, aroma 4,40, rasa 3,93, dan penerimaan keseluruhan 4,07.
This study aimd to determine the effect of temperature and drying time on the chemical and sensory characteristics of Tabah bamboo leaf tea. This study was designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, namely the drying temperature factor (50oC and 60oC) and the drying time factor (1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours). The treatment was repeated three times to obtain 18 experimental units. The parameters observed were water content, pH, total acid, total phenol, color, aroma, taste, and overall acceptance tested organoleptically. The results showed that the interaction of temperature and duration of drying of Tabah bamboo tea leaves had significantly different effects on water content, pH, total acid, total phenol, color, overall reception, but did not have a significantly different effect on aroma and taste. with this combained best treatment, the water content, pH, total acid, total phenol, color, aroma, taste and overall acceptance were found water content 6,881 %, pH 6,6, total acid 0, 73%, total phenol 84,01mg / 100g,color 4,33, aroma 4.40, taste 3,93, and overall acceptance 4,07.
