 INTRODUTION

A fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering

plants formed from the ovary after flowering. When
eaten in moderation, fruit can be a very healthy
part of a nutritious diet. Some benefits from eating
fruit include Fruits contain fiber, which can help
lower your cholesterol and encourage regular bowel
movements Oranges, red peppers, and strawberries
are examples of fruits that contain lots of vitamin C
which supports the immune system.

So, we found that fruits contain organic compounds

like Ester, Carbohydrates, Vitamins, etc. can be
tested in any fruit by extracting out it's juice and
the minerals in fruits other than Carbon, Hydrogen
and Oxygen.

In this project, some fruits juices are extracted for

the contents present in them.
