Cabbage (Brassica olcracea CV. capitata) samples from 20.833, 25.641, 37.037, 55.555 and 111.111 plants/ha densities were analysed on ascorbic acid and soluble carbohydrates contents. Statistically differences were not observed between those levels and plant densities. The mean level ascorbic acid was 25.8 mg/100 g on fresh weight. The principal constituents of soluble carbohydrates fraction were sucrose, glucose and fructose. These sugars were represented by 80% of total soluble carbohydrates. The mean values of soluble carbohydrates on fresh weight basis, were total (4.60), sucrose (0.45), glucose (1.94) and fructose (1.83).
