This research aims to get information  about the utilization of chemical compound  contained in Bawang  Tiwai. Bawang Tiwai collected from forest and merchandizer  were sorted according to their age/rotten/dries and defects. The next step is making specimens simplisia by using knifes or slicer, after that they are dried naturally  by the sun for about  2 weeks and finally  they are powdered  by using blender. Extraction is done by solving the sample in methanol  and hot water solution. The mixing is then shaked thoroughly  by a shaker for 24 hours or ovenight.  Based on chemical analysis, Bawang Tiwai contains chemical compounds  like tanin, fenol, carbohydrate, and protein. Bawang Tiwai can be made as a raw material  of pharmaeutical  and food additive industries.
