                                                   Abstract

                     Clitoria ternatea L. (anchan in Thai) is a herb that has antioxidant activity. It also stimulates blood
                 circulation for eye nourishment and is good for hair growth. Thus, the development of herbal tea from it is
                 an interesting alternative product for health care. This research aimed to evaluate the optimal time and
                 temperatures for tea infusion from Clitoria ternatea L. flowers. Tea infusions were prepared by soaking the
                 flowers in hot water for various time periods (5, 10 and 15 minutes) and temperatures (60, 80 and 100˚C).
                 The total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity of the infusions were investigated using Folin-
                 Ciocalteu and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity assay, respectively. The
                 results demonstrated that the time and temperature of tea infusions significantly affected TPC and antioxidant
                 activity (p < 0.05). The tea with the infusion time of 10 minutes at 80˚C contained the highest TPC amount
                 of 47.56 ± 1.36 mg GAE/g and DPPH radical scavenging activity of 31.19 ± 1.27%. It can be concluded that
                 the optimal infusion for Clitoria ternatea L. flower was at 80˚C for 10 minutes.

                     Key words: infusion flower tea, Clitoria ternatea L. flower, phenolic compound, antioxidant activity
