Abstract
Infused water is a beverage made possible by the incorporation of fruit or herbs into the water. The purpose of this study is to determine the antioxidant activity, vitamin C content, and pH value of ginger-infused water with lemon and mint leaves. This study used three ginger varieties: red ginger, small (emprit) ginger, and elephant ginger, with immersion times of 6, 9, and 12 hours. The DPPH method was used to determine antioxidant activity, and UV-Vis spectrometry was used to determine vitamin C levels. A pH meter was used to determine the degree of acidity (pH). According to the study’s findings, red ginger had the highest antioxidant activity at 12 hours of immersion by 89 percent. At 72.44 ppm immersion for 12 hours, the highest levels of vitamin C were found in infused water with small (emprit) ginger and a combination of lemon and mint leaves. Red ginger with a combination of lemon and mint leaves had the lowest pH, with a value of 3.48 after 12 hours of immersion. Research shows the biochemical content of infused water that is often used in society, especially ginger infused water combined with lemon and mint leaves.
Highlights
Infused water is an alternative to drinking water to maintain fluid balance after exercise while allowing spices or fruit
Infused water is drinking water that has been infused with pieces of fruit, vegetables, or spices to allow the juices to come out and provide flavor and various health benefits to those who drink it [1]
UV-Vis spectrometry was used to determine Vitamin C levels in infused water, with ascorbic acid serving as a control compound
Summary
Infused water is an alternative to drinking water to maintain fluid balance after exercise while allowing spices or fruit. Infused water is created by immersing pieces of fruit, vegetables, or spices in drinking water and storing them for a while. Infused water is a type of drink that results from the diffusion of fruit or herbs into the water. These vitamins and minerals are required for physical activity because they act as antioxidants, increasing oxygen uptake in the blood's oxidation process to produce energy
