ABSTRAK
Flavonoid are natural phenolic compounds thatare useful as antioxidants are
substance that can slow down or prevent the oxidation process. One of the plants that
has antioxidant properties and contains flavonoid is banana. This research aims to
determine the total levels of flavonoid from banana flower extract. The extraction used
is maceration with 70% ethanol solvent. Qualitative analysis of flavonoids was
performed using the Wilstater Cyanidin method, qualitative test with AlCl3 reagent to
form complex coumpounds. Quantitative analysis was performed using Visible
Spectrophotometry with standard quercetin at a maximum wavelength of 431.0 nm and
at an operating time of 20 minutes. The results of the qualitative analysis showed that
the extract contained flavonoid positively. The average level of total flavonoids was
8,518 mgQE/ gram of extract with a coefficient pf variation of 0,56%
