Characterization of sugars in almond (prunus dulcis) by HPLC-RI. In 6º Encontro Nacional de Cromatografia. Funchalhttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/3337Almond tree (Prunus dulcis), is the most important nut tree produced in the world, especially in the Mediterranean region, Iram which about 28% of the world production is obtained. Ln Portugal, almond is a traditional crop, mainly spread through Algarve, Baixo Alentejo and "Terra Quente Transmontana". with 24522 crops spread trough 36530ha. ln this work, we selected commercial (Ferraduel (FRD), Ferragnes (FRG) , Ferrastar (FRS), Gloriette (GLT) and Marcona (MRC)] and regional (Casanova (CN), Duro Italiano (DI), Pegarinhos one seeded (P1S), Pegarinhos two seeded (P2S) and Refego (RFG)] cultivars, produced in Trás-os-Montes region, to be screened in what concerns to their sugars composition.engconference object
