- Abstract
Cascara is a herbal drink made from dried coffee husks. Cascara has a strong sour taste and a brownish red color similar to tea. Cascara contains polyphenol and antioxidant compounds. One effort to improve the quality of cascara products is to combine them with Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L.). Compounds contained in Moringa leaves are tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and phenols. A product to be developed must have good quality in order to increase the selling value of the product itself. The objective of this research was to produce cascara moringa tea beginning with the manufacture of products with five formulation ratios of cascara: moringa, namely T0 (100%: 0%), T1 (90%: 10%), T2 (80%: 20%), T3 (70%: 30%), and T4 (60%: 40%) in three replicates, then the physical, chemical, organoleptic, and microbiological characteristics were analyzed. The best formulation of the cascara moringa product was obtained from the T2 (80% cascara: 20% moringa) which had the best assessment from the panelists of the color (3.74) and taste (3.49) attributes, as well as the third preferred aroma attribute (3.35). Then, T2 gave also the L* value of 28.536; pH value of 5.16; water content of 15.835%, total phenol of 26.720 mg GAE/g, antioxidant activity of 51.452%, and total microbes of 9.43 x 103 cfu/ml.
