Abstract
The chemical composition of small white (navy) beans grown in Ontario and at two locations in Alberta was compared to see if chemical composition was influenced by environment. The Ontario-grown beans had more starch and less protein than beans grown in Alberta. Of the fiber components, only enzyme-extractable pentosan was higher in beans from Alberta compared to beans from Ontario. Most other chemical components had similar levels in both environments. Simple and partial correlations revealed the relationships among a number of the chemical components. However, the effect of chemical composition on maturity was not obvious and may be complex.
