The potential of turmeric plants as medicinal plants raises the idea of conducting research aimed at knowing the content of compounds in turmeric rhizomes. Turmeric in this study was obtained from the city of Payakumbuh, West Sumatra. Objective Research To know the phytochemical screening of turmeric extract qualitatively. Research method: This study is a laboratory experimental study, the turmeric rhizome used comes from Payakumbuh City, West Sumatra using 97% ethanol solvent, the parameters used are in the Indonesian herbal pharmacopeia standard (2008) by testing through phytochemical screening, phytochemical screening method used This is done by looking at the color reaction using several reagents. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative descriptive way. Result research Phytochemical Test Results Compound Content Turmeric extract contains Phenol with the formation of a purple-blue color, steroids with the formation of a blue color, triterpenoids forming a brownish color, alkaloids forming a brown to black color, and Saponin compounds with stable foam >10 minutes as high as 1-10 cm, if Dropped 1 drop of HCl 2 N foam does not disappear as well as compounds glycosides, tannins, flavonoids and essential oils.
