Abstract

The analytical potential of the plant extracts is very promising as seen in its application in acid-base titration. Three plant extracts from Red Hibiscus flower powder (shoe flower) Turmeric powder, Henna Leaves powder were used as an indicator in strong acid-strong base titrations. A sharp and clear colour change was observed from Light Pink to Light Green for Red Hibiscus flower extract. These three extracts were in good agreement with the titre values obtained using phenolphthalein indicator. These flower extracts can be extracted using have a very simple, inexpensive, environmentally friendly procedure and excellent performance with sharp colour changes at the end points of the titration, which can replace the standard indicators being used in conventional laboratories with natural flower indicators.
