Abstract:Turmeric leaves (Curcuma longa L.) contain secondary metabolites, one of which is a phenolic compound. The choice of solvent is important in the extraction process, ethanol is chosen because it can attract compounds that are soluble in non-polar to polar solvents. The ethanol concentrations in this study were 60, 70, 80, and 96% with the extraction method used was maceration. The screening test obtained positive results for phenolic content. This is indicated by the appearance of a fluorescent blue-black stain… Show more
