Kiwi

ByОлена Коновалова
KIWI
      Kiwi fruits (Actinidia deliciosa) serve as an exceptional source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) (195.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g). They possess a significant concentration of vitamin K (phylloquinone) (33.6% DV) and, relative to other fruits, vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) (9.7%). The mineral profile consists of numerous macro- and microelements: boron (142.9% DV per 100 g), silicon (57.0%), rubidium (44.0%), strontium (15.1%), molybdenum (14.3%), copper (13.0%), potassium (12.0%), and cobalt (10.0%).
     Kiwi fruits are characterized by a relatively high concentration of total phytosterols (12.7% DV) and mono- and disaccharides (15.6%), within which glucose (41.0% DV), fructose (12.6%), and galactose (24.3%) serve as the predominant sugars. The nutritional matrix includes dietary fiber (15.0%). Starch is absent from the composition, while minor quantities of maltose (0.19 g per 100 g) and sucrose (0.15 g) are present.
     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 8.3% of the daily allowance.
     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is 19.3 mg, representing 4.8% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
     Kiwi fruits contain minor quantities of the monoterpenoid pseudoalkaloid actinidin, which exhibits sedative properties, and proteolytic enzymes (proteases) that catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins.
     It should be noted that kiwi fruits exhibit a capacity for the bioaccumulation of the toxic microelement strontium (15.1% of the daily allowance per 100 g).

  • Tangerine

    ByОлена Коновалова

    Tangerine (Mandarin)      Tangerine fruits (Citrus reticulata), analogous to orange fruits, are characterized by a relatively high concentration of ascorbic acid (38.1% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g); however, this concentration is lower than that observed in oranges (59.0% DV). Furthermore, they exhibit a relatively limited profile of other vitamins.    …
