✦ Synopsis

Vitamin C content was determined in fruits and herries consumed in Finland during 19871989 and 1992-1993. Vitamin C contents in fresh blackcurrants averaged (137 \pm 16.6 \mathrm{mg} / 00 \mathrm{~g}) fresh weight ((N=28)) and fresh strawherries contained (60 \pm 3.6 \mathrm{mg} / 100 \mathrm{~g}) fresh weight ((N=46)). Vitamin C contents in different strawherry varieties grown in 1992 ranged from 56 to (99 \mathrm{mg} / 100) (\mathrm{g}) fresh weight. Vitamin (\mathrm{C}) contents in berries varied during different years. Frozen storage destroyed about (28 %) of the vitamin (\mathrm{C}) contents in blackcurrants and (34 %) in strawberries. 1995 Academis Press. Inc.
