Abstract

The fig plant (Ficus carica L.) is one of the Moraceae family, which usually grows in countries with tropical
and subtropical regions whose leaves have the potential as traditional medicine and also as an antioxidant.
The purpose of this study was to identify the phytochemical content and antioxidant compounds from the
ethanol extract of fig leaves of the Green Jordan variety. Active compounds were extracted by the
maceration method using ethanol solvent with concentrations of 50%, 60%, 70%, and 96%. Phytochemical
tests include testing for alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The antioxidant activity test was carried
out using the DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The antioxidant activity test was carried out
using the DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The results of the phytochemical test showed that
the secondary metabolites contained in the ethanol extract with various concentrations of Fig leaves include
alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins In addition, Fig leaves extract with 96% ethanol solvent has a
very strong antioxidant potential of 96.0%.
