    General description

    Phenolphthalein is an indicator for acid-base titration reactions.[1] It changes from colorless to violet-red between pH 8.3-9.8, it is red in extremely acidic solutions, and colorless in extremely alkaline solutions.[2]

    It is present as a nonionic, lipophilic lactone in aqueous neutral solutions. It exists as a hydrophilic dianion in alkaline solutions.

    Application

    Phenolphthalein has been commonly used as an indicator in the fields of biology and medicine. Its applications include:

    • the development of novel technique to monitor the vacuum freeze-drying process[3]
    • the determination of the depth of carbonation in concrete[4]
    • the utilization of liquid marbles to sense gaseous environmental components
    • the estimation of total acidity in vinegar
    • the assessment of sodium hydroxide penetration into potatoes following chemical peeling
    • as a model organic compound in the evaluation of the capture efficiency of various cyclodextrin constructs such as nanofiber-CD

    Biochem/physiol Actions

    Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and turns pink in basic solutions.

    Principle

    Phenolphthalein undergoes structural modification when there is a change in pH or in the structural state of water.[1] It is a nonionic, lipophilic colorless lactone in aqueous neutral solutions and a hydrophilic dianion in alkaline solutions.[2]
