Sažetak
Kiwifruit is highlighted by significant nutritional composition considering it is a rich source of vitamins, especially vitamin C, minerals, dietary fibers and bioactive compounds with high antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in chemical and nutritional composition and the bioactive compounds content in fruits of four kiwifruit cultivars: 'Abbott ', 'Bruno', 'Monty' and 'Hayward'grown in Čapljina (BiH). The key parameters of basic chemical composition as well as the bioactive and pigment compounds content were analyzed. The highest dry matter content (20.52 %) as well as the highest total soluble solids (15.93 %) was determined in cultivar 'Monty', while the highest vitamin C content (107.44 mg/100 g fresh weight), total chlorophylls (18.25 μg/g), total carotenoids (4.60 μg/g) and the highest antioxidant capacity (2134.84 μmol TE/L) was determined in cv. 'Bruno'. Based on the results from this study can be concluded that overall quality of kiwifruit strongly depend on genetic characteristics. Kiwifruit shows high nutritional value and is a rich source of different bioactive compounds with significant antioxidant activity which highlights this species as important for human health.
