Abstract Research on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum (WIGHT) Walp) has been carried out from hexane, acetone, ethanol and water extracts. This study aims to analyze the chemical compounds contained in each extract of hexane, acetone, ethanol, and water from bay leaves, and determine the secondary metabolic content contained in each extract of the bay leaf. The extraction method used was maceration for hexane, acetone and ethanol solvents, infusions for water solvents. The results obtained from phytochemical screening and assay showed that bay leaf acetone extract contained phenol 0.1202% and tannin 0.1452%. Ethanol extract of bay leaves contains 0.34% alkaloids, 0.59% flavonoids, 0.1258% phenols, and 0.1688% tannins. Bay leaf water extract contains 0.486% flavonoids, phenol 0.2248% and tannin 0.1622%. The hexane extract of bay leaves was not detected to contain secondary metabolites.
