INTRODUCTION

GUAVA is a sweet juicy light or dark green coloured fruit. It is cultivated in all parts of INDIA. When ripe it acquires yellow colour and has a penetrating string scent. The fruit is rich in vitamin C and mineral. It is rich source of oxalate ion and its content in the fruit varies during different stages. Oxalate ion are extracted from the fruit by holding pulp with dilute H2SO4. The Oxalate ions are estimated volumetrically by titrating the solution with standard KMnO4 solution.

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT

In this project, we will learn the test the presence of oxalate ions in the guava fruit and how its amount varies during different stages of ripening.

THEORY

Oxalate ions are extracted from the fruit by boiling pulp with dil. H2SO4. Then oxalate ions

    About 0.3 g of cobalt oxalate hydrate was then weighed (to the nearest 0.1 mg) and placed in an Erlenmeyer flask with 100 ml of 0.5 M sulfuric acid. This solution was then heated to about 60 degrees Celsius. This solution was also titrated with the KMnO4 until a specific color change occurs. With this information, the mass percent of oxalate can be determined. This was repeated.…

    1977). The average rate of catalase activity as seen in the chart above is 4.97 seconds while the orange is at zero seconds. During the experiment, none of the orange filtered discs rose in the given amount of time. From the data, one can see that the orange has no effect on catalase activity. Therefore the null hypothesis, the orange will not affect the catalase activity is accepted.…

    Respectively, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 drops of catechol were added to each of the tubes. To equal out the amount of solution in each of the test tubes, respectively 23, 22, 20, 16, 8 and 0 drops of pH 7 buffer were added. 30 drops of potato juice containing the catechol oxidase enzyme were then added to the solution, and then timed for 5 minutes at room temperature. The pH treatment only required 5 test tubes, with 3mL of matching buffer (pH4, pH6, pH7, pH8, and pH10) in the appropriate tube. Following this, 10 drops of both potato juice and catechol are added to the tubes, and then timed for 5 minutes at room temperature. For temperature, 6 test tubes were required, and placed in their appropriate temperature treatments all with 3mL of pH7 buffer in them. These tubes were place in either 3°C, 12°C, 20°C, 35°C, 50°C, and 70°C baths for 15 minutes to warm each tube up to the appropriate temperature. After the 15 minutes, 10 drops of both catechol and potato juice are added to each of the pH7 solutions.…

    Every fruit has a sweet taste only that some are sweeter than others. The sweetness of most fruits come from its sugar content and these sugars that the fruits contain are known as invert sugars. In this experiment, an orange was used. An orange which is an excellent source of vitamin C gets its sweetness from natural sugars which are sucrose, glucose and fructose (livestrong.com). In this experiment the concentration of glucose in an orange was measured. There are various methods which can be used to measure the glucose concentration but in this experiment a highly specific enzymatic method using the GOD-PAP assay (glucose oxidase peroxidase aminophenazone phenol) (schedule coventry,2013). This assay is based on 2 coupled enzyme reactions and a colorimetric end-point.…

    There were measurements of Plant height (cm), number of leaves; numbers of branches, total fresh and dry weights per plant were recorded in the end of the growing season. Weight and number of fruits in total and marketable yields were recorded from each replicate. Average individual fruit weight was also calculated from these data. There were also some chemical measurements to determine the Soluble Solids Contents (SSC) in fruit sap. The total content of some nutrients such as N, P, K and Ca were also determined in the leaves.…

    Mango is processed to a maximum extent, thereby producing high quality of solid and liquid wastes. This contributes about 40 to 50% of total fruit waste out of which, 5 to 10% is pulp waste and 15 to 20% is kernel (Anonymous, 2004; Madhukara et al., 1993; Maini et al., 2000; Pandey et al., 2000). This waste is either used as cattle feed or dumped in pen areas, where it adds to environmental pollution.…
