DIFFERENT
FRUIT JUICES
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Firstly we would like to thank you Almighty God , for being able to complete
this project successfully. Then we would like to express our sincere gratitude
to our Principal and the school authorities for
permitting us to do this project.
We specially thank our chemistry teachers, Mr. Sanjay and Mrs. Neena, for
guiding us in doing this project .
Lastly, we would like to thank the non-teaching staff for assisting us in the
completion of the project.

 INTRODUCTION
Components of fruits juices :
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes, which have
an aldehyde or ketone group. They have a general
formula CnH2nOn . Carbohydrates yield 18KJ of energy .
the monosaccharide serves as a building block. Glucose
is also used for the formation of fats and amino acids.

Minerals
Minerals form 1-3% of the cell contents. Any marked
change in the concentration results in the
malfunctioning of cells and finally death. Some minerals
presents in our diet are :
 Calcium
It is a major component of the bone and the teeth.
Calcium is required for blood clots, muscle contraction,
nerve impulse transmission and heart functioning.
 Iron
Hemoglobin in our body contains iron which is the
universal carrier of O2 and CO2 . Deficiency of iron
causes anemia due to failure of hemoglobin synthesis.

 ANALYSIS OF orangE JUICE

test observation inference

Test for acidity: pH=4 acidic
Take 5ml of orange juice in
a test tube and dip a pH
paper in it
Test for starch: Absence of blue No starch is
black color. present.
Take 2ml of juice in a test
tube and add few drops of
iodine solution. It turns
blue black in color if starch
is present.
test for calcium: No yellow Calcium is

Take 2ml of juice add
ammonium chloride and
ammonium hydroxide
solution. Filter the solution
and to the filtrate add 2ml
of ammonium oxalate

obtained.
Take 2ml of juice and add
1ml of Fehling’s solution A
and B to it and boil. Red
precipitate indicates the
presence of producing
sugars like maltose,
glucose, fructose and
lactose

Result: Orange juice is acidic. It lacks calcium and

starch. It consists of carbohydrates.

Test for acidity: pH=2 Highly acidic.
Take 5ml of lemon juice in
a test tube and dip a pH
paper in it.
Test for starch: Absence of blue Starch is
black color absent.
Take 2ml of juice in a test
tube and add a few drops
of iodine solution and add

Take 2ml of juice and add
ammonium hydroxide

precipitate indicates the
presence of producing
sugars like maltose,

Result: The lemon juice is highly acidic. It lacks
calcium and starch. It contains carbohydrates.

Test for acidity: pH=4.5 Slightly acidic
Take 2m of pineapple juice
in a test tube and dip pH
paper in it.
Test for starch: Absence of blue Starch is

precipitate indicates the
presence of producing
sugars like maltose,
glucose, fructose and

Result: Pineapple juice is slightly acidic. It lacks
calcium and starch. It contains carbohydrates,

 Conclusion

The orange, lemon and pineapple juices were

analyzed and all the samples were found to be
acidic. Carbohydrate is present in all samples,
while starch and calcium are absent in all of them
