Folk remedies made from butterfly pea (Clitoria ternated Linn) are utilised. The seeds and roots are used as laxatives and digestive aids. The leaves and roots are used as anthelnustic, an antidote to animal sings, and a therapy for urogenital diseases. Butterfly pea flowers contain anthocyanins. Plant pigments called anthocyanins are what give plant blooms their red, violet, and blue hues. Six main anthocyanin sematins (A1, A2, B1, B1, D1 and D2). were identified as malonylated delphinidin 3.35-inglucosides with 3', 5'-sale chains and alternate D-glucose and p-coumaric acid. A very limited variety of distinct pigments are responsible for the many colours of floral colour. The sole difference between these colours, which share the same carbon backbone, is the type of substituent groups they contain. Anthocyanins' colour stability is influenced by their chemical makeup, pH, temperature, oxygen content, light, and water activity. Anthocyanins have a tendency to be red in extremely acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions. Butterfly pea is an example of a flower that contains anthocyanins, although its application has not yet been perfect. The purpose of this work was to identify the anthocyanins in the butterfly pea blossom and use an extract of it as an indicator in an acid-base titration based on anthocyanin characteristics.
