The presences of these compounds were reported to have medicinal properties. In the present study phytochemicals screening of the ethanolic extract of Althea rosea flower (garden hollyhock) revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoid, triterpinoids, saponins, tannins, cardiac glycoside, and phenolic compounds. Indicators currently in-used cause environmental pollution and they are hazardous to the living organism. The ethanolic extract of Althea rosea flower (garden Hollyhock) shows a perfect colour change at equivalent point during acid base titration as compared with synthetic indicators. Therefore the extract from this flower could be used as replacement for both methyl orange and phenolphthalein in neutralization reaction.

The corrosion rate of carbon steel and the inhibition efficiency of the extract were calculated. The result obtained shows that, the extract could serve as an effective inhibitor. Inhibition was found to increase with increase in concentration of the plant extract.
