Generally the fruit changes color from green (when young) to yellow, orange, or red (when ripe). Only a few types of fruits that remain green when ripe. One of them is the kiwi.
The green color is caused by the pigment chlorophyll levels remained unchanged in the process of maturation. Foodstuffs which contain lots of chlorophyll is generally a good source of magnesium.
Many research results show that the chlorophyll has antimutagenic properties (preventing the spread of cancer-causing genes). The nature of this happened because the chlorophyll binding compounds can inhibit the reaction of carcinogens with DNA, and counteract the radical reaction of compounds. Chlorophyll can also protect the immune system through its ability to reduce the reactivity of radical compounds.
One study showed that chlorophyllin, a substance derived chlorophyll, is capable of binding aflatoxin B1 can inhibit the occurrence of liver cancer. The results Benitez and Wens (1996) showed that chlorophyllin is very effective in reducing superoxide anion (free radical species), whose capacity is higher than the beta-carotene or vitamin C.
Kiwi also contains inositol, which plays an important role in intracellular responses to hormones and neurotransmitters. Some research indicates that inositol supplementation helps lung function in premature infants and adults suffering from depression. Kiwi also contains serotonin, a substance that causes a calming effect.
