Kiwifruit puree was treated with high and normal temperatures and pressures as independent variables to determinate the structural changes of chlorophyll derivatives. Two groups of colored elution samples were identified as single component compounds by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In addition, the structures of the two compounds were identified and analyzed by High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The results of HRMS and NMR demonstrate that components 1 and 2 were hydroxymethylbilane (HMB) and red chlorophyll catabolite (RCC), respectively, and indicate that HMB and RCC were the main pigments in the chlorophyll compounds after high temperature and pressure treatment. Furthermore, the cleavage pathway of the RCC in kiwifruit puree has been discussed, which provides a theoretical basis for the color protection of kiwifruit products in the course of processing.

This study investigated the prospect of producing cloud-stable orange-based juice by combining high-pressure processing (HPP) with a natural kiwifruit pectin methylesterase inhibitor (PMEI) during chilled storage. Kiwifruit is rich in a PMEI, which greatly improves the cloud loss caused by the pectin methylesterase (PME) demethylation of pectin. The results show that the cloud loss of orange juice occurred after 3 days, while the orange-kiwifruit mixed juice and kiwifruit puree were cloud stable during 28 days' storage.

Eight plant-based foods: oat flour and pureed apple, blackcurrant, carrot, gold- and green-fleshed kiwifruit, pumpkin, sweetcorn, were pre-digested and fermented with pooled inocula of weaning infants' faecal bacteria in an in vitro hindgut model. Inulin and water were included as controls. The pre-digested foods were analysed for digestion-resistant fibre-derived sugar composition and standardised to the same total fibre concentration prior to fermentation.

Kiwifruit (KF) contains bioactive compounds with potential anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of KF on gastric and duodenal damage induced by soluble aspirin in healthy rats. Sixty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were allocated to eight experimental treatments (n = 8) and the experimental diets were fed for 14 days ad libitum.

Kiwifruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and other bioactive compounds, which contribute to its high antioxidant activity. However, the fruits with small size and low weight are considered waste and are unprofitable; therefore, the production of healthy kiwifruit-based dried snacks, which contain a lot of health-beneficial ingredients, could be a viable alternative for their use. The aim of this study was to develop formulations and methods to produce attractive and nutritionally valuable dried snacks based on yellow kiwifruit.
