Tanaman sirih (Piper betle L.) adalah salah satu jenis tanaman obat yang banyak dimanfaatkan masyarakat Indonesia sebagai alternative obat tradisional. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kadar flavonoid total ekstrak daun sirih dengan berbagai kombinasi jenis pelarut menggunakan etanol : air, metanol : air, dan aseton : air yang diekstraksi dengan metode maserasi. Penentuan kadar flavonoid total menggunakan metode kolorimetri dianalisis dengan spektrofotometri UV-Vis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan flavonoid total pelarut etanol : air, metanol : air, dan aseton : air secara berturut-turut adalah sebesar 0,419%, 0,717%, dan 0,417%. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa kandungan flavonoid tertinggi terdapat pada pelarut metanol : air sesuai berdasarkan tingkat kepolaran tertinggi dengan kadar flavonoid sebesar 0,717%.

The betel plant (Piper betle L.) is a type of medicinal plant that is widely used by Indonesian people as an alternative to traditional medicine. The aim of this research was to determine the total flavonoid content of betel leaf extract with various combinations of solvents using ethanol: water, methanol: water, and acetone: water extracted using the maceration method. Determination of total flavonoid levels using the colorimetric method was analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results showed that the total flavonoid content of the solvents ethanol: water, methanol: water, and acetone: water were 0.419%, 0.717%, and 0.417%, respectively. So it can be concluded that the highest flavonoid content is found in the solvent methanol: water according to the highest polarity level with a flavonoid content of 0.717%.
