The proximate composition and water soluble vitamin content of Tenas Ruby Red grapefnrit, Florih pink grapefnrit and Florih oranges was determined. Niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6 and total folacin were signijicantly (α= 0.01) higher in Florih pink grapefnrit than in Texas Ruby Red grapefnrit. Ribojlavin, free folacin and total pantothenic acid were signijicantly (α= 0.01) higher in the Texas Ruby Red variety. Ribojlavin and total pantothenic acid were significantly (α= 0.01) higher in oranges sampled at a marketing time representing maximum availability to the consumer while free pantothenic acid concentration was signijicantly (α= 0.01) higher in oranges sampled near minimum availability. Although some differences were observed between values obtained and those reported in Handbook 8–9, mean values approximated those previously reported .
