EXPLORING PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND ANALYZING ACID-BASE INDICATOR PROPERTIES IN RED AND WHITE KOLA NUT EXTRACTS

Аннотация

This study investigates the phytochemical composition of red and white kola nut extracts and explores their acid-base indicator properties. Phytochemical screening was conducted to identify the presence of secondary metabolites, while analytical assessments were performed to evaluate the acid-base properties of the extracts. Results revealed a diverse range of phytochemicals, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The acid-base indicator properties were examined through titration experiments, showcasing distinct color changes and pH transitions. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the chemical constituents in kola nuts and their potential applications as natural indicators in various analytical processes.
