1. Blend a 120 g sample of each fruit separately a in a blender with about 50 mL of distilled water. Strain any extra pulp with a cheesecloth. You should have at least around 120 ml of substance.
2. Separate each of the liquids into half and put each half into its own separate individual beakers .So you should have 8 beaker with 100ml of each substance in each of them. Use the first 4 containers that contain the apple, orange, lemon, and cranberry juice to analyze the sugar content each of the substance have by Benedict’s reagent.
3. To measure the sugar content each solution has, use 5ml of 50% w/v of glucose and 5ml of 50% w/v sucrose as standards, for the rest of the tests.

To make a 5ml of 50% glucose solution take the graduated clyinder, and pour 2.5 ml of water in the breaker. Then use the scoopula to scoop up the pure glucose putting it on a sheet of paper .Then moving the paper to the balance and make sure that the powder glucose is equal to 2.5 grams (g), if not add some or remove some making it equal 2.5 grams (g).Then add the glucose to the beaker that have 2.5 ml of water in it.
5. Stir with the stirring rod the mixture for about 3 minutes until the glucose becomes completely liquid. Transfer the 50% glucose solution from the graduated cylinder to a
