Abstract

Phenolphthalein is causes dissociation to visualize the hue pink. It is a crucial component frequently employed in bribe trap investigations. Smeared on bank notes, private papers and other official documents, an alkaline hand wash containing phenolphthalein powder was the source of the pink hue. Numerous analytical techniques were used to ascertain its existence. Furthermore, a tiny quantity of hydroquinone was added to lessen this issue. Smeared phenolphthalein powder was collected by hand washing the suspected individual with Na2CO3 or KOH bases. The transferred evidence shreds were gathered from the accused’s body, hand and clothing and they were sent to forensic science laboratories for additional analysis. TLC, IR, UV-Visible spectrophotometer, HPLC and LC-MS analytical methods were employed for analysis in this review paper. Our goal is to use a variety of analytical methods to determine whether phenolphthalein is present. When it comes to criminal bribery trap instances, that can help develop scientific evidence.
