Banana is a plant that grows in many tropical regions, such as in Indonesia. In addition, the banana is not a seasonal crop so easily obtained. Musa paradisiaca is a group of banana plants which are consumed directly by people. Bananas many people used as a food source, either consumed directly or processed first, while the banana peel is still not utilized optimally. This research aims to optimize the benefits of banana peel by isolating and identifying specific flavonoids in banana peel of Musa paradisiaca. Banana peel are separated from the fruit, cut into pieces, then dried and powdered. Next, powder was characterized and then extracted by refluxing with ethanol. The ethanol extract obtained banana peel, concentrated by vacuum rotary evaporator (rotavapor) and water bath. Condensed extract was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Isolation was conducted using preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) and preparative chromatography paper. Spectrophotodensitometry characterization of isolate was performed using reagents specific slide. Phytochemical screening showed that crude drug compounds containing phenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and triterpenoids. While the extract showed a phytochemical screening of compounds phenols and flavonoids alone. Isolate was found in ethanol extract of banana peel (Musa paradisiaca) AAA group, Cavendish subgroup was 5,7-dihydroxy-6-prenile-flavone.
