A Loloh is commonly consumed by Balinese people and often used as a therapeutic herbal drink. Various extraction methods can be employed to produce loloh. The research aims to determine the effect of extraction methods on total phenolic content, flavonoid and antioxidant capacity of loloh sembung (Blumea balsamifera). The concentrations of dried sembung leaves were 1, 3, 5 and 7 grams and 100 mL of water was used as solvent. The extraction methods used were infused and decoction. The analysis was done for determining the total phenolic, total flavonoids, and total antioxidant capacity (DPPH and FRAP). The results showed no significant difference between infuse and decoction methods. Higher total phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant capacity were produced by loloh sembung at a concentration of 1%.
