Abstract
Insoluble fibre contents (IF) of 14 samples of green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivated in Galicia (N. W. Spain) were determined gravi metrically by a neutral detergent method. The soluble fibre contents ( SF), composed essentially of pectins, were determined by the carbazole colorimetric method and by a HPLC method. The mean content of insolub le fibre obtained (19.9% of dry weight) was very close to the mean con tent of soluble fibre determined by colorimetry (19.6%), whereas it wa s higher than the mean value of soluble fibre determined by HPLC (15.6 %).
