In the grain of six genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) of three different types (desi, intermediary and kabuli) the concentrations of water-soluble carbohydrates and of starch were investigated. Average concentrations of starch, reducing saccharides, sucrose and fructose were 40.80 - 4.78 - 1.761 - 0.285 g/100g, respectively. Kabuli type (cv. Kaniva) has the highest content of sucrose and reducing saccharides (3.010 and 6.74 g/100g), the intermediate type (genotypes LEG-CA-2 and Hoti-95) was characterised by the highest content of fructose and starch (0.328 and 42.85 g/100g) and desi type (genotypes D-1212/1; black and brown) has the lowest content of saccharides
