The taste of a fruit depends on the compounds present in it. Normally a fruit contains the materials like cellulose, proteins, starch, vitamins, certain acids, fructose or sugar. All these materials are found in mixed form inside the fruit and they have different proportions in different fruits. Fruits of sweet taste have more fructose in them whereas the fruits of sour taste have more acids in them. Some fruits are sweet as well as sour in taste like orange, as it has almost equal quantities of fructose and acids in it.
In contrast, apples are usually red or green, and oranges are surprisingly an orange color. Also, apples are crisp and generally sweet, whereas oranges are juicy and sour or tangy. Most people will eat the outer layer on an apple, but the outer layer on an orange is usually peeled off before of it is eaten. Oranges contain calcium, which helps strengthen bones, while apples contain cancer fighting antioxidants called flavenoids. Apples can grow in a variety of climates but oranges can normally only grow in tropical regions.
These oils are often characterized by very distinct odors, and are dependent on a certain degree of stereochemistry found in a particular molecule. Many of these essential oils belong to a class of compounds called terpenes. When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Terpenes are made of two or more five carbon units, named isoprene. Limonene, the chief component of orange oil, is widely used as a fragrance and flavoring, as well as a cleaning solvent.
Avocado an introduction The tree from which the commercial avocado fruit (technically a berry due to the fact it develops from a single ovary and has the seed embedded in the fruit), come from the avocado tree Persea americana Mill which originates from Central America.

Introduction Eugenol is an essential oil with a formula of C10H12O2 and a member of the phenylpropanoid family. It is mainly found and isolated from cloves or bay leaves and presents as a colorless or pale yellow oily compound. Essential oils and extracts of various species of plants, herbs, and spices constitute very potent natural biologically active agents (1). Many of these compounds are volatile and are able to undergo steam distillation in order to isolate the oil. Eugenol has a boiling point of approximately 248° C, but can be isolated from cloves at a lower temperature by performing a co-distillation with water.
