Comprehensive Comparison of the Nutrient and Phytochemical Compositions and Antioxidant Activities of Different Kiwifruit Cultivars in Korea

Plants, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 757 - 757

Published: March 1, 2025

Kiwifruit is widely recognized for its rich nutritional composition and potential health benefits, yet comparative studies on different cultivars remain limited. In this study, we investigated the physicochemical properties, free sugar organic acid content, bioactive compounds in four kiwifruit cultivars: Hayward (HW), Halla Gold (HG), Jecy (JG), Sweet (SG). This study aimed to determine variations of these assess their antioxidant potential. The pH did not significantly differ among cultivars. Sweetness acidity are key sensory attributes fruit, SG exhibited highest acidity, soluble solid reducing content. Accordingly, had (11.25 g/100 mL) (13.08 levels. Phenolic (473.01 μg/mL) flavonol (96.43 contents were most abundant SG. cultivar, chlorogenic epigallocatechin levels highest, while epicatechin naringenin detected only Finally, activities (i.e., DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radical scavenging FRAP) SG, followed by HG, JG, HW. cultivar used exhibits strong activity, disease-suppressing effects, skin protection reduce risk chronic diseases due high phenolic compound These findings suggest that which possesses excellent taste functional may serve as a promising candidate development high-quality kiwifruit-based products.
