Abstract

NUTRITIONAL CONTENT AND THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF KIWIFRUIT

Deepak Kumar Puri and S. N. Manjula

ABSTRACT

Kiwifruit belongs to the genus Actinidia (Actinidiaceae) and is derived from a deciduous woody, fruiting vine. It consists of various species and cultivars which exhibit different characteristics and sensory attributes. Kiwi plants have been grown for centuries in China, where they are known as mihoutau. Seeds of kiwi plant were brought to New Zealand in the early 20th century, where it was eventually domesticated and sold all over the world. At present, commercial growth of the fruit has spread to many countries including the United States, Italy, Chile, France, Greece, India and Japan. Kiwifruit extracts have been reported for its use in traditional medicine for relief of symptoms of numerous disorders. In light of growing consumer acceptance of kiwifruits worldwide, there has been an increased attention given to identifying health benefits associated with its consumption. Potential benefits include a rich source of antioxidants, improvement of gastrointestinal laxation, lowering of blood lipid levels, and alleviation of skin disorders. Some individuals report allergic symptoms to kiwifruit, and a considerable research effort is being focused on characterizing kiwifuit‘s allergenicity among various populations of people. Along with vitamin C, kiwifruit is also rich in other nutrients such as folate, potassium, and dietary fiber. This fruit‘s content of nutrients and biologically active phytochemicals has stimulated investigations into its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions that might then help prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other degenerative disorders.

Keywords: Kiwifruit, therapeutic potential, constituents.
