Background: Hardy kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta) is a new species, commercially grown in recent years. Total phenolics (TPC), vitamin C (TAA) content, antioxidant activity (AA) and their year-to-year variability in seven hardy kiwifruit clones were evaluated. TPC was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay. TAA was estimated by determination of l-ascorbic acid and l-dehydroascorbic acid levels using high-performance liquid chromatography. AA was measured using diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and OH radicals.
Results: The highest content of vitamin C, in all seasons, was found in D11 (1447-2181 mg kg(-1) fresh weight) and phenolics for D11 and M1 clones (2583-3312 and 2228-3414 mg gallic acid equivalents kg(-1) fresh weight, respectively). TPC and TAA content showed significant differences between hardy kiwifruit clones and showed significant year-to-year variability. Each year, the level of AA was significantly higher for D11 (DPPH, ABTS). AA was strongly correlated with TPC and TAA content in Actinidia fruit.
Conclusion: Hardy kiwifruit are an important source of vitamin C and phenolics, which resulted in their good antioxidant potential. A significantly higher content of these compounds was found in fruit of hybrid origin, which suggests that A. purpurea × A. arguta clones may be useful genetic resources for further interspecific hybridization.

Article Synopsis
- * AOS-treated kiwifruit showed significant benefits, including 9% higher color intensity and double the firmness after 60 days in refrigeration compared to untreated fruit.
- * This study suggests that AOS is an effective and sustainable method for extending shelf life and maintaining the quality of kiwifruit, potentially reducing food waste and increasing market value.

A cold storage system is useful for maintaining the quality of hardy kiwifruit. However, extended cold storage periods inevitably result in cold stress, leading to lower fruit marketability; the severity of chilling injury depends on fruit types and cultivars. In this study, the impact of cold storage conditions on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant capacity of two phenotypically different hardy kiwifruit cultivars-'Cheongsan' (large type) and 'Daebo' (small type)-stored at low (L; 3 °C, relative humidity [RH]; 85-90%) and moderate-low (ML; 5 °C, RH; 85-90%) temperatures was determined.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different storage temperatures (0.5, 3, and 10 °C) affect the quality and health of hardy kiwifruit, focusing on symptoms of chilling injury and physiological disorders.
- The lowest temperature (0.5 °C) caused the highest levels of peel pitting and elevated proline and branched-chain amino acids, indicating stress responses, while the highest temperature (10 °C) led to increased fruit shriveling and decay after 5 weeks.
- Proper temperature management is essential for maintaining fruit quality and minimizing disorders during cold storage of 'Autumn Sense' kiwifruit.
