The extracts of the fresh and dried squid(Sepiella manidroni) were prepared with water and 70% ethanol at different extraction time and temperature, and the major free sugars in the squid extracts and the effects of extract condition on the composition of free sugars were investigated. Major free sugars in the extracts were glucose, fructose and ribose, and these components was above 80% of total free sugars. Amount of free sugar in the extracts of fresh squid extracted with water were higher than that of extracted with 70% ethanol, but 70% ethanol, in the dried squid, was more effective than extracted with water. The free sugar contents in the extracts incensed until 2 to 3 hours of extrction at below $100^{circ}C$ and then decreased slowly, but in the high temperature as $120^{circ}C$, showed a remarkably decrease after 1 hour of extraction.
