Abstract: BUENSALIDO, DIANA CAMILLE C., CRUCENA, JEZZA JONAH D., and MOLINA, RYAN FRANCIS C. Research study entitled "Phytochemical Screening of Tea Blends Formulated from Different Herbal Plants". Science High School, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March, 2006. Adviser: Engr. Jaime Q. Dilidili This study was conducted at Cavite State Univeersity, Indang, Cavite from January to March 2006 to conduct a phytochemical screening of the tea blend formulated from different herbal plants indigenous to our locality such as avocado, bitter melon, pandan, mutha, star apple and lemon grass. This study aimed to determine if some of the important phytochemicals (alkaloids, saponins, tannins and flavonoids) are present in the tea blend; identify the medicinal values of the phytochemicals present in the tea blend; and determine if the phytochemicals present/absent in the tea blend are also in commercial teas. The results of the study indicated that the tea blend contains saponins and tannins, which made it used for cancer prevention and control of cholesterol. However, care must be taken not to expose cold-blooded animals to the tea blend sample since they are toxic to them. This is in accordance with what Kight (2003) stated that presence of saponins and tannins would make the tea useful for prevention of cancer, control cholesterol levels and as astringents as well as wound healing and drying weeping sores.
