Uji Skrining Fitokimia dan Uji Cemaran Logam Timbal dan Kadmium pada Teh Daun Rantiti (Cipadessa Baccifera (Roxb. Ex Roth.) Miq.)

Abstract

Background: High quality tea is tea that is free from metal contamination and contains active compounds that are useful for supporting the use of tea in traditional medicine. Objective: To determine the active compound content of rantiti leaf tea (Cipadessa baccifera (Roxb. Ex Roth) Miq.) and the amount of lead and cadmium metal contamination contained. Methods: Identification of active compounds contained in rantiti leaf tea (Cipadessa baccifera (Roxb. Ex Roth) Miq.) through phytochemical screening, and determining the levels of cadmium and lead metal contamination using the ICP OES method. Results: he active compounds contained in rantiti leaf tea (Cipadessa baccifera (Roxb. Ex Roth) Miq.) are alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, saponins, steroids/triterpenoids and the amount of cadmium is 0.00003267 μg/L and lead metal is 2.057 μg/L using the ICO-OES method. Conclusion: Rantiti leaf tea (Cipadessa baccifera (Roxb. ex Roth) Miq.) contains active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, saponins and steroids/triterpenoids the amount of cadmium is 0.00003267 μg/L and lead metal is 2.057 μg/L using the ICO-OES method.
