Comparative Study on Physicochemical and Nutritional Qualities of Kiwifruit Varieties.

ABSTRACT: In order to study the physicochemical and nutritional characteristics of kiwifruit varieties, 14 kiwifruits from different species with different flesh colors were selected for research. The pectin content was significantly higher in green-fleshed kiwifruits than those in red-fleshed and yellow-fleshed kiwifruits. Red-fleshed kiwifruits had the highest total flavonoid content, and green-fleshed kiwifruits in A. eriantha had the highest chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll b content and total carotenoid content. The energy and carbohydrate contents of yellow-fleshed kiwifruits were significantly lower than those of red-fleshed kiwifruit. Moreover, the protein contents in A. chinensis and A. chinensis var. deliciosa were higher than those in other species. The conte
