Doratea: Anti-Cancer Tea From Robusta Coffee Leaves (Coffea canephora L.) and Stevia Leaves (Stevia rebaudiana)
Abstract
Cancer is an abnormal condition of cell growth that can affect various parts of the body. It is the second leading cause of death in the world with a total of 9.6 million deaths. Many therapies and measures are needed to treat this condition. Cancer treatment involves various methods, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, which are chosen based on the type and stage of cancer. Prevention with a healthy lifestyle is also important to reduce the risk of developing cancer. Doratea is a functional drink with antioxidant content that has the potential to slow the growth of cancer cells. Robusta coffee leaves and stevia leaves contain flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and phenols. This study aims to determine anticancer activity by testing antioxidant and cytotoxin levels with the BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method. Doratea produced from a combination of robusta coffee leaves and stevia leaves, has a %inhibition value of DPPH of 51.187% with a concentration of 5000ppm. As for cytotoxin testing using Artemia salina shrimp, the LC50 result is 945.22 mg/L which can be categorized as toxic.
