The analysis of the phytochemical component of the dried leaf of Musa paradisiacal (Plantain leaf) were carried out by standard analytical method. The calculate of the percentage contents were done using milligrams per milliters (mg/ml). The results shows that Alkaloid content were 9.25 + 0.02, Saponnin content were 3.99 + 0.03, Flavonoid content were 1.96 + 0.47, tannins were 2.89 + 0.60 while the content of cynogenic glycoside were observed to be 1.41 + 0.59. The results indicate that Musa paradisiaca leaf has a higher contents of alkaloid while cynogenic glycoside and flavonoid had the least concentrations. Musa paradisiacal has been used traditionally treating different kind of ailments such as typhoid, fever, inflammatory boil, malaria, stomach ulcer, etc. by different communities in Nigeria. The results obtained in this analysis has proved the medicinal properties of the plant as an evident.
