1992
Haila, K. | Kumpulainen, J. | Hakkinen, U. | Tahvonen, R.
Major Finnish and imported fruits and berries were examined for sugars and major organic acids simultaneously by gas chromatography. Apples, oranges, bananas, and grapes were obtained in 1987-1989 from wholesale outlets and strawberries, red currants, and black currants were obtained from the food industry. The results of the present study showed great variation in the sugar and organic acid contents of fruits and berries. The levels of sugars and organic acids were the same or lower than those reported in the literature. Sugar intake from fruits and berries is likely to vary considerably due to great variation of sugar content.
