    This paper considers the deployment of an electronic-based fruits juice ingredient analysis. Most of the fruits juice products available in the market now contain water in large quantities than the active ingredients. This design attempts to respond to the end user's complaints. By putting on this design, it is expected to serve as a quality check and control for our teeming enterprising fruit substance producers. The system was designed and simulated using proteus and implemented using hardware electronic components. The system uses an infrared transmitter, fruit sample handler, and infrared receiver to realize its design. The instrument was calibrated with natural pineapple juice with 60% of water content. The outputs of this device were displayed using a cathode ray oscilloscope and voltmeter respectively. Five different samples of fruit juice were analyzed namely: A, B, C, D, and E. Results showed that all fruit juice contains a reasonable quantity of water which is not regarded as an adulteration since it is the natural content of the fruit. However, water content above 60% may be considered as much. It is recommended that fruit juice producers employ this system for their quality and control checks. Moreover, further research should take into consideration, the colour and viscosity of different fruit juices with a view to seeing how the system can analyze them, while the output should incorporate a microcontroller for an intelligent analysis and digital display.
