One of them is the Petai Cina plant which is used by the community as a savory flavor in dishes, and can also be used as traditional medicine. Objective: To determine the presence and levels of vitamin C in Petai Cina in the Lubuk Pakam regional market. with quality and quantity analysis. Method: Samples were analyzed qualitatively using a specific color reagent for vitamin C and quality was determined using UV spectrophotometry. Results: The standard vitamin C wavelength is 224.5 nm at a concentration of 4 ppm with the regression equation y = 0.0339x + 0.3922. Qualitatively, it is proven that there is vitamin C in Petai Cina with a quantity of 0.1095 mg/mL.
