<em>Phaseolus coccineus</em> beans were assayed for the presence of raffinose and stachyose in whole seeds and in the morphological parts of the seed: cotyledon, hypocotyl and hull. The quantitative composition of the galactooligosaccharides of <em>Ph. coccineus</em> was compared with <em>Ph. vulgaris</em> seeds. The major galactooligosaccharide of <em>Ph. coccineus</em> seeds is stachyose. Another galactooligosaccharide, verbascose, was present in <em>Ph. coccineus</em> seeds in very low amounts (0.04%). The highest concentrations of raffinose and stachyose were found in the hypocotyl, 1.11% and 7.48%, respectively. The hull contained the lowest quantities of stachyose and only traces of raffinose.
