INTRODUCTION
Guava is a common sweet fruit found in India and many other places
which contains about 100 species of tropical shrub Guavas are plants in the
myrtle family (Myrtaceae) genus psidium ( meaning “ pomegranate” in
Latin)
Guavas have a pronounced and typical fragrance, similar to lemon ring but
less in strength.
What is oxalate?
Our body either produces oxalate on its own or converts other molecules
like Vitamin C to oxalate. External sources like food also contribute to the
accumulation of oxalate in our body.
The oxalate present in the body is exerted in the form of urine as waste.
Too much of oxalate in our urine results in a medical condition called
hyperoxualuria, commonly referred to as kidney stones.

PROCEDURE
1. 1. Weigh 50.0 g of fresh guava & crush it to a fine pulp using pestle-
mortar.
2.
3. 2. Transfer the crushed pulp to a beaker & add about 50 ml. dil. H2SO4
to it. Boil the contents for about 2 minutes.
4.
5. 3. Cool & filter the contents in a 100 ml. measuring flask. Make the
volume up to 100 ml. by adding distilled water.
6.
7. 4. Take 20 ml. of the solution from the measuring flask into a titration
flask& add 20 ml. of dil.H2SO4 to it. Heat the mixture to about 60oC &
titrate it against N/20 KMnO4 solution taken in a burette.

The percentage of oxalate ion decreases in guava fruit if
time passes
It was also noticed that the content of oxalic ions grows with
ripening of guava
