Abstract

Eight species of ripe fruits, mango (Mangifera indica), banana (Musa cavendish), lemon (Citrus aurantif olia), "romã" (Punica granatum), orange (Citrus sinensis), pineapple (Ananas comosus), "jaboticaba" (Myrciaria cantiflora) and "cabeludinha" (Eugenia tomentosa) were analised in relation to total soluble carbohydrates, glucose, sucrose and fructose contents. In general, total soluble carbohydrates of these fruits showed 80% in form of sucrose, glucose and fructose. Sucrose was the principal sugar component in mango, jabuticaba, pineapple, orange and banana. In comparison with others fruits, banana had presented the highest total soluble carbohydrates content (20.44% on a fresh weight basis).
