Abstract
Kombucha is a probiotic drink made from fermented tea. The basic ingredients for making kombucha can come from organic ingredients, such as chamomile flowers & green tea. Chamomile flowers (Matricaria chamomilla) and green tea (Camellia sinensis) are one type of plant that has phenolic content and is beneficial for the health of the body. Phenolic compounds are compounds that are found in many plants and play a role in producing natural plant antioxidants. This study aims to determine the phenolic content contained in chamomile kombucha and green tea. The method used is a quantitative test with UV-Visible spectrophotometry to determine phenolic levels. The results showed that the total phenolic content of chamomile flower kombucha was 35.41 mg/L GAE and green tea kombucha was 162.35 mg/L GAE. It can be concluded that the phenolic content of green tea kombucha is higher than chamomile flower kombucha.
