In this study, liquid extracts of fresh-bangkaan leaves are pasteurised and packaged while the dried leaves are inserted into the tea bag and then the two types of extracts are stored. Both types of extracts were given storage treatment with different storage times (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months) and used the Infusa time or different seeping (2, 5, 8, 10, and 12 minutes).
Fresh and dried extracts have a high antioxidant content with quantities on higher dried extracts. Pasteurized extracts have a higher initial antioxidant content than fresh extracts, and it increases over time. Dried extracts show a constant antioxidant content with storage time.
