Organoleptic characteristics of nutmeg tea with variations in the roast time

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of roast time on the organoleptic characteristics of nutmeg tea. The experimental design carried out in this study was a randomized block design (RBD), which is arranged in a factorial consisting of 2 factors with three replications. The factor used was the roast time (S), which consisted of 4 levels, namely S1 (20 minutes), S2 (25 minutes), S3 (30 minutes), S4 (35 minutes), and part of the nutmeg (P) which consisted of 2 levels, namely P1 (fruit skin) and P2 (pulp) to obtain 24 experimental units. The response variables analyzed included organoleptic responses (color, taste, and flavour), both hedonic and hedonic quality. The results showed that the roast time, the nutmeg part, and the interaction between the two affected the color, taste, and flavour of both hedonic and hedonic quality. The nutmeg skin treatment and roasting time were 25 minutes; on average, the panellists responded to 3.96 (very like) color, 3.32 (like), flavour and 2.80 (like) taste hedonic. In hedonic quality, the treatment took 25 minutes, and the skin nutmeg, on average, the panellists responded to 3.35 color (tea-colored), 3.24 flavour (nutmeg flavor) and 2.56 taste (slightly nutmeg taste).
