Abstract
Wedang empon is a rhizome-based drink, one of the most popular functional drinks in Indonesia. This drink is consumed as a drink that is believed to increase the body's immunity and maintain a healthy body. This is due to the potential content of secondary metabolites contained in it. The purpose of this study was to combine empon-based drinks with several types of fruit and flower extracts. The development of this empon-based drink was carried out to provide variations in taste, aroma, and color as well as its nutritional content. Therefore, in this study, wedang empon drink which has been combined with several fruits and flowers was analyzed for product quality with several parameters such as phenol content, vitamin C, and product hedonic tests to find out how consumers respond to the resulting product. In this study, an analysis of the moisture content of the dried product was also carried out to ensure that the water content was within the permissible limits. The research started from material preparation, formulation, characterization and product analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that in general the yield value of the water content was less than 10%. Overall, the total phenol content of all treatments ranged from 14.75-43.32 mg GAE 100 g-1 and the highest total phenol content was detected in the combination of rosella with wedang empon ingredients. The amount of vitamin C ranged from 42.1013-107 mg/100 g and samples of wedang empon mixed with lakum were the highest. Hedonic test results ranged from 63.556 to 90.667, taste ranged from 63.556 to 90.667, aroma number ranged from 67.11 to 79.556, then color ranged from 70.222 to 84,889. This means that there are differences in the effect of adding different ingredients to the taste of wedang empon. By mixing the rhizome drink with fruit and flower extract will help improve the sensory properties of the drink so that this drink can be more accepted by many consumers of all ages or for those who don't even like the unpleasant smell of wedang empon drinks.
