STUDY OF OXALATE ION IN DIFFERENT
GUAVA SAMPLES
AIM: Study of oxalate ion in different guava samples
INTRODUCTION:
Guava is a common sweet fruit found in India and many other places around the world. On ripening it turns
yellow in colour. Rich in vitamin C, this type of fruit is a rich source of oxalate ion whose content varies during
the different stages of ripening. Guavas have a pronounced and typical fragrance, similar to lemon rind but less
in strength.
In this project we will learn to the test the presence of oxalate ions present in guava fruit and how its amount
varies during different stages of ripening.
WHAT IS OXALATE ?
It is a carboxylic acid, primarily found in plants and animals. It is not an
essential molecule and is excreted from our body, unchanged. 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 excreted in the form of urine
as waste .
Too much of oxalate in our urine results in a medical condition called
hyperoxaluria, commonly referred to as kidney stones. Diet is looked upon
as a preventive measure in addition to medication to treat kidney stones.
