Red-fleshed kiwifruits are receiving increasing attention because of their high phenolic contents. However, detailed information on their phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacities remains scarce. Here, six red-fleshed and six green-fleshed kiwifruits were investigated to determine their contents of phenolic compounds and their antioxidant capacities. The results showed chlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid were the main phenolic compounds found in kiwifruit. Most of red-fleshed kiwifruits contain higher amounts of total phenolics and anthocyanins, as well as higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD). Moreover, they exhibited stronger antioxidant capacities than green-fleshed kiwifruits in ABTS, DPPH and FRAP assays. Furthermore, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibition assay showed the phenolics extracted from red-fleshed kiwifruit can better protect tobacco leaves against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage. This is because of their abundant anthocyanins which in vitro contribute more to H2O2 scavenging than the other phenolic compounds. Based on these findings, it is fair to conclude the red-fleshed kiwifruits are promising sources of antioxidants in human nutrition.
