ABSTRACTThis study aims to determine the yield of Chlorella sp. powder extracted using different solventsbased on the degree of polarity. In extraction process, there were 3 solvents used, namely polar solvent (methanol 70%), semi-polar (ethyl acetate 80%), and non-polar (n-hexane 80%) with ratio sample:solvent 1:2 (w/v). The result showed that Chlorella powder extracted using polar solvent (methanol 70%) obtained the highest yield (30,17%), among other solvents ethyl acetate 17,31%, and n hexane 4,21%. Therefore, polar solvent (methanol 70%) is more optimal to extract Chlorella sp. powder. Keywords: Extraction, yield of Chlorella sp. Different solvents.
