Daftar Isi:
- Black tea is a type of tea in such a way the polyphenols undergo a high degree of oxidation. The characteristics of simplicia are strongly influenced by the environment. In order to use a simplicia as an active ingredient, characterization test are required for maintaining the quality and safety. This study aimed to find out the characteristic of black tea simplicia from tea leaves (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) which were taken from Bali Cahaya Amerta Tea Plantation, Angseri Village, Baturiti Sub-district, Tabanan Regency, Bali. The characterization of the simplicia was done based on standard parameters of tea plant in Farmakope Herbal Indonesia including macroscopic test, microscopic test, the loss on drying, the contents of water soluble compound, ethanol soluble compound, total ash, acid insoluble ash, total phenol and the identification of cathecin. The results showed that black tea simplicia elongated shaped with blackish brown, odorless, tasteless, and there were fragments identifier such as sclerenkim fibers, epidermis with stomata, macrosklerida, leaf mesophyll with vascular tissue, and rosette calcium oxalate crystals. The result of the compounds content that dissolve in water was 31.84% ± 0.6446%, compounds content that dissolve in ethanol was 16.64% ± 0.414%, the loss on drying was 5.19% ± 0.0902%, total ash content was 4.67% ± 0.0392%, ash content that was insoluble in acid was 0.19% ± 0.0025%, and the total fenol content was 0.9733% ± 0.0189%. From the results, the black tea simplicia fulfills the requirements of simplicia characteristic based on Farmakope Herbal Indonesia parameter.
- Teh hitam merupakan jenis teh yang dalam pengolahannya melalui proses fermentasi secara penuh. Karakteristik simplisia sangat dipengaruhi oleh tempat tumbuh tanaman tersebut. Suatu simplisia untuk dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku, perlu dilakukan standardisasi salah satunya pengukuran karakterisasi simplisia untuk menjaga kualitas dan keamanannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik simplisia teh hitam dari daun teh (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) yang berasal dari perkebunan teh Bali Cahaya Amertha, Desa Angseri, Kecamatan Baturiti, Kabupaten Tabanan, Bali. Karakterisasi simplisia dilakukan berdasarkan parameter standar tanaman teh pada Farmakope Herbal Indonesia yang meliputi pengamatan makroskopik, mikroskopik, susut pengeringan, kadar sari larut air, kadar sari larut etanol, kadar abu total, kadar abu tidak larut asam, kadar fenol total dan identifikasi katekin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa simplisia teh hitam berbentuk lonjong memanjang dengan warna coklat kehitaman, tidak berbau, tidak berasa, lama kelamaan kelat, terdapat fragmen pengenal seperti serabut sklerenkim, epidermis bawah dengan stomata, makrosklerida, mesofil daun dengan berkas pengangkut, dan kristal kalsium oksalat bentuk roset. Hasil pengujian kadar sari larut air adalah 31,84% ± 0,6446%, kadar sari larut etanol 16,64% ± 0,414%, susut pengeringan 5,19% ± 0,0902%, kadar abu total 4,67% ± 0,0392%, kadar abu tidak larut asam 0,19% ± 0,0025%, kadar total fenol 0,9733% ± 0,0189%. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat dilihat bahwa simplisia teh hitam ini telah memenuhi persyaratan karakteristik simplisia berdasarkan parameter yang tertera dalam Farmakope Herbal Indonesia
