INTRODUCTION

Tobacco is commodity agriculture that has role strategic and value economical high in Indonesia. Tobacco plays a big role in determine development of the cigarette industry. (Murdiyati & Basuki, 2011). Industry tobacco also provides significant contribution for Indonesian economy, especially excise and foreign exchange, the field work, source income and development area (Handayani, Amrullah, Tarnanda, & Rahayu, 2018).

one type a lot of tobacco cultivated in Indonesia is tobacco virginia from from the United States. Plant it's so easy found in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara and Jember East Java. Tobacco virginia is also known with the name Virginia Flue Cured (FCV), because of the drying process use Genre air heat in the oven (curing barn) (Peedin, 1999).

In the international world, tobacco virginia many traded in form Corrosion FCV or more known as virginia FC. Where are some big used as ingredient raw cigarettes (cigarettes) and some small for pipe tobacco and tobacco Susur (chewing tobacco). Meanwhile, in Indonesia, tobacco Virginia FC a lot used in form cigarette blending white and kretek cigarettes, for shag (Murdiyati & Basuki, 2011).

Between compounds that affect quality product tobacco is sugar content in leaf tobacco, because that in SNI-01-4401-2006 regarding Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco, sugar content included in recommended compound for tested. Sugar content in tobacco affect the taste of the resulting cigarette (Herwati & Rochman, n.d.). Leaf sugar content tobacco give mild taste in cigarettes, but if rate too tall precisely will causes burning and irritation esophagus. (Dendo et al., 2018).

However Thus, in SNI-01-4401-2006 it is not yet formulated method testing total sugar content. Method test used During this use Luff Schrool method according to SNI-01-3996-1995 regarding DFC tobacco that counts reducing sugar content from type monosaccharides, although Tobacco also contains compound carbohydrate complex in form starch, cellulose, pectin, and sugar in high numbers (Tirtosastro & Murdiyati, 2010). So that for break compounds the Becomes monosaccharide needed long time and material chemical in amount big, so rated not enough economical.

Because of that required development method testing rate total glucose which has accuracy and precision high, detection limit low and cost operational inexpensive so that testing more efficient (Nur & Apriana, 2013). On research this conducted validation determination rate total glucose in leaves Virginia Flue Cured tobacco with method phenol the usual sulfate (Dubois) used in the determination of total sugar in the extract plants and food. Determination sugar level done based on measurement absorbance solution that has been reacted with phenol and sulfate using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer instrument at a length of the 490 nm wave (Djajadi & Hidayati, 2017).

Because Dubois' method is n't method raw for testing tobacco so laboratory must To do validation method for ensure suitability show work method that. This thing in accordance with clause 5.4.5.2 ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 which states that "Laboratory" must validate method no standard, designed / developed method laboratory, method standard used outside room intended scope, and affirmation as well as modification from method raw for confirm that method that in accordance for intended use”(Tirtosastro & Musholaeni, 2017). Because of that validation method analysis is very important done. With use method that has been validated so validity results measurement could accountable so that could used as base in calculation next (Sugihartini, Fudholi, Pramono, & Sismindari, 2012).

Validation method defined as evaluation to something method through test laboratory for prove that something method testing could give valid result with look at certain parameters (Hutagaol & Niken, 2017)

Parameters validated in research this is linearity, LOD, LOQ, and accuracy . Test results with method phenol-sulfate then compared with results sugar content with SNI-01-3996-1995 method using student's t. test (Indriana, 2016).
