Fruit Juice is the liquid naturally contained in fruit or vegetable tissue fruit and can be
prepared mechanically by squeezing fresh fruits or fresh vegetables. Soursop juice is diuretic
while other parts have antibacterial, anti- cancerous, astringent, sedative and other
properties.The study was conducted to determine the proximate composition of soursop juice
.The soursop juice was prepared using AOAC (1995) method and proximate composition was
determined in terms of moisture, ash, protein, ether extract and crude fibre. The result shows
thattheproximate composition contain moisture 30.39%,ash 2.52%,fiber 2.03%,fat 3.06% and
carbohydrate 58.02%.The result of this research will highly be of an advantage to patients that
have infections like urinary tract infection, wound infection, scuvry etc which soursop have
