Kenikir leaves are extracted by maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent after which a liquid extract is obtained and then evaporated using a rotavapor so that a thick extract is obtained. This study aims to analyze the levels of phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins contained in kenikir leaves (Cosmos caudatus Kunth.). Determination of levels using UV-Vis spectrophotometric method.
