The main problem of chicken egg is its weaknesses, such as perishable, therefore it has a short storage life. Some natural preservative among others tea leaf can maintain the quality of egg. This study aimed to determine the concentration of tea solution to maintain the quality of egg. The materials used in this research were eggs, local tea (bandulan brand), and hot water. Eggs are soaked for 2 days with concentration of tea solution consists of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% and stored for 21 days. Parameters observed were egg weight shrinkage, yolk index, albumen index and pH. The experiment designed by Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications. Parameters observed were egg weight shrinkage, yolk index, eggwhite index and pH. The data were analyzed by ANOVA continued by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The research results showed that the decline in interior quality of eggs was higher in the control treatment (without the tea solution). It is found that there is significant different between the two treatment of 10% and 50% with parameter of albumen indeks. PENINGKATAN KUALITAS TELUR AYAM RAS DENGAN PERENDAMAN DALAM LARUTAN TEHMasalah utama dari telur ayam adalah sifatnya yang mudah rusak, sehingga waktu simpannya relatif pendek. Beberapa bahan pengawet alami diantaranya daun teh dapat mempertahankan kualitas telur ayam ras. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh perendaman telur dalam larutan teh konsumsi terhadap kualitas interior telur ayam ras. Bahan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu telur ayam ras, teh bandulan dan air panas. Telur direndam selama 2 hari dengan konsentrasi larutan teh terdiri dari 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, dan 50% dan disimpan selama 21 hari. Pengamatan dilakukan terhadap penyusutan berat telur, indeks kuning telur, indeks putih telur, dan pH telur. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dan perbedaan antar perlakuan diuji dengan uji Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyusutan berat telur lebih tinggi pada perlakuan kontrol (tanpa larutan teh). Diketahui bahwa terdapat perbedaan nyata antar perlakuan konsentrasi larutan teh 10% dan 50% dengan parameter indeks putih telur.
