Tannin is a metabolite secondary compound belong to phenolic compound groups which oxidized easily by strong oxidization agent (potassium permanganate) so then its determination utilized permanganate method (Lowenthal-Procter). The results showed that neem leaves in 250 mL water solvent contains 0.55% of tannin, while in 250 mL ethanol solvent and concentration of 96% contains 0.27% of tannin.
