Abstract


Phytochemical screening is a general approach to medicinal plants and is a local knowledge that exists in the community. Tacca (Tacca lentopetaloides L.) is a traditional plant with criteria as raw material for traditional medicine, but most people do not know the benefits of these plants. Phytochemical screening tests have been carried out on the ethanol extract of the taka plant by soaking for 3 days. This Study aims to determine the phytochemical compounds found in plant organs such as leaves, stems and tubers using spectrophotometric UV-vis methods and quantitative methods. The testing mechanism uses the Tacca plant's leaves, stems and tubers. Screening phytochemicals of ethanol extract included tests for flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, and saponins. From the results of the Study, it can be seen that the location of the Tacca plant grows very significantly affects phytochemical compounds. From the three research locations, Gorango village has higher yields, namely the tubers that have a number of alkaloid compounds around 2,496.35 mg/kg and saponins (4,203.32 mg/kg), followed by flavonoids (7.20), tannins. (12.74) and phenol (4.08), followed by the villages of Bebsili and Gurua. This indicates that the Tacca plant contains phytochemical compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols and tannins which have properties such as pain relievers, anticancer, antibacterial, anti-viral, so that the Tacca plant can be used as recommendation material as a mixture of medicinal ingredients in world of medicine.
