Samples
Table V lists the mean and standard deviation
of each sugar in several types of vegetables.
The results were based on six preparations
of identical samples for peppers and peas and
three preparations for the rest of vegetables.
The soluble sugars found in green beans
were fructose and glucose. These occurred at
similar levels in peppers, whereas fructose was
more abundant than glucose in green beans.
Peppers contain sucrose, too; however, its
amount was only 8% of the total sugars.
Unlike green beans and peppers, in which
fructose and glucose accounted for 90-100% of
the total soluble sugars, the concentrations of
