✦ Synopsis

The presence of 3-, 4-ca!eoylquinic acid (CQA) isomers and 3,4-, 3,5-, 4,5-dica!eoylquinic acid (diCQA) isomers was not detected in the vegetables studied. The content of 5-CQA was then evaluated in 14 edible vegetables. The highest mean value was found in the sweet potato (22.20 mg%). The roots (except for red beet) had mean values for 5-CQA (6.24}22.20 mg%) signi"cantly (P(0.05) higher than those from the fruits (0}4.22 mg%). Conversely, this phenolic acid was not detected in the bulbs studied.
