Abstract

Gedi leaves contain many flavonoid compounds that are used in healthcare. This paper will discuss how Gedi leaf can be processed as a functional, healthy tea drink. There are two objectives that to be addressed in this article. The first objective is to determine the bioactive compounds in the Gedi leaves such as flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin C, fibre content, pH and water content. Secondly, it is to test the organoleptic beverage of Gedi leaves regarding flavour and colour. The results showed that bioactive components of the Gedi leaves tea have better water and fibre level for P1 test namely 11.893 and 14.7. Both were not significantly different for t-test. The levels of vitamin C and vitamin A showed physical change. For hedonic test, panellists revealed that they like both colour and taste of the Gedi leaves tea.
