The health benefits of fermented fruits have attracted consumers' attention. High levels of antioxidant ability in the fermented kiwifruit extract were found at the early stage of fermentation. The co-fermention with Lactobacillus paracasei LG0260 and Kluyveromyces marxianus J2853 showed the highest ABTS radical scavenging ability (ABTS-SA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Also, the typical antioxidant components of SOD activity, vitamin C concentration and total phenol content were highly correlated with ABTS-SA. Obviously, polyphenols in the fermented kiwifruit extract evolved into monophenols during fermentation. Compared to undigested samples, the activity of ABTS-SA and reducing power capacity (RP-CA) after the final intestinal digestion decreased and ranged 387.44-531.89 VCμg/mL, 650.95-981.63 VCμg/mL, respectively (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, SOD activity on the 10th day of fermentation were still remained 222.82 U/mL, 206.98 U/mL and 217.23 U/mL, respectively. These results suggested that the fermented kiwifruit extract could exhibit antioxidant activity through tolerance to the digestive environment.

To unlock the potential of strains for further enhancing the aromatic complexity of kiwifruit wines while avoiding undesirable flavors, indigenous non-Saccharomyces yeast extracellular extract treatment for fermentation was established. The extracellular extract from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Pichia kudriavzevii, and Meyerozyma guilliermondii were prepared and supplemented individually or in pairs to the kiwifruit wine fermentation system. Subsequently, the changes in physicochemical properties, antioxidants, and volatile characteristics of kiwifruit wines produced by different protocols were comprehensively evaluated, and the major aroma descriptors affecting sensory acceptability were analyzed by sensory evaluation and partial least squares regression.

There is a growing interest in various types of kiwifruits, such as the "yellow" kiwifruit ( var. ) and the "baby" kiwifruit of . These fruits are rich in bioactive compounds, which contribute to their nutraceutical properties, but they nevertheless have a shorter shelf life, resulting in economic losses.
