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
