Balakka (Phyllanthus emblica L.) contains phenolic compounds, such as geraniin, quercetin 3-β-Dglucopyranosida, kaempferol 3-β-Dglucospiranoside, isochorylagin, quercetin, and kaempferol. The purpose of this research is to identify the phytochemical content of alkaloids and types of flavonoids in balakka leaves. This type of research is qualitative with a laboratory experimental research design conducted at the Itkessu Pharmaceutical Laboratory.
