Determination of reducing sugars present in the juices of Calabash (Crescentia cujete) and Fluted Pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) pulps was investigated. The dinitrosalcylic acid (DNS) method was used. A calibration curve was plotted and the sugar concentration extrapolated. The reducing sugar was reported as 3.22 mg/ml for Calabash and 3.70 mg/ml for Fluted Pumpkin; representing 0.322% and 0.37% yield, respectively. Qualitative test was previously carried out on the juices using Benedict’s solution method. Calabash and Fluted Pumpkin pulps have high moisture contents, which is evident in the volume of juice recovered per fruit, hence their use in industrial applications could be economically feasible.
