Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the functional drink wedang kecombrang made from kecombrang flowers, ginger, palm sugar, and water on chemical quality (flavonoids, β-carotene, tocopherols, tannins, and saponins) with different ratios of kecombrang flowers and ginger. This research is a type of experimental research using RAL with 2 repetitions. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA analysis of variance and DMRT follow-up test. The results showed that kecombrang wedang with a kecombrang flower : ginger ratio of 2 : 1 had the highest chemical quality including levels of flavonoids, β-carotene, tocopherols, tannins, and saponins with sequential values of 5501.087 mg/L, 123.131315 µg/ml , 6.147095 µg/ml, 1630.313 mg/L, and 356.3625 mg/L.
