This chapter represents the results of the experimental procedures used in the
production of acid base indicator from the papaya leaf extract and the analysis and
interpretation of the data gathered. The pHs of the common household substances were
taken using a pH meter before testing the extract. Two trials were conducted using the
acid base indicator from the papaya leaf extract. Color change was then determined after
getting the pHs of the common household substances by adding a few drops of the
The test conducted on the acid base indicator from the papaya leaf yielded the
following results:
