The use of mangrove leaves in functional beverages is increasingly popular due to their bioactive compounds, which have potential as natural antioxidant sources. This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant activity and organoleptic quality of tea infusions prepared from Acanthus ilicifolius and Rhizophora apiculata leaves. Leaf samples were collected from the coastal area of Kubu Raya Regency, vacuum-dried, ground, and prepared as tea infusions. Antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH method, while organoleptic quality (appearance, aroma, and taste) was evaluated through a hedonic test with 10 panelists. The results revealed that A. ilicifolius tea exhibited higher antioxidant activity, with an IC₅₀ of 9.48 ppm, compared to R. apiculata at 16.36 ppm. Both values fall into the very strong category (IC₅₀<50 ppm). The organoleptic test showed differences in panelist acceptance, with R. apiculata tea preferred in appearance (AI 80%) and taste (AI 60%) due to its astringent character, related to tannin content, while A. ilicifolius tea was less favored in taste (AI 48.89%) due to a salty impression from accumulated salt ions, though it was still acceptable in appearance and aroma. Overall, the findings indicate that both mangrove teas possess strong antioxidant potential, with R. apiculata showing better consumer acceptance and A. ilicifolius offering promising bioactive content.References
