The results of the study showed the presence flavonoids, and tannins in lettuce, red pepper showed the presence only flavonoids, carrot showed the presence flavonoids, saponin and tannins, spinach showed the presence of tannin and saponin, while lettuce showed the presence Tannins, Saponins, Flavonoids.
