- Preliminary study of Actinidia arguta leaves as source of bioactive compoundsPublication . Almeida, Diana; Pinto, Diana; Rodrigues, Francisca; Ferreira da Vinha, Ana; Oliveira, M. Beatriz P.P.Actinidia arguta, commonly known as baby kiwi, is an abundant seasonal fruit in Asia, being recently introduced in Europe. The fruit is now available in Portugal, leading to a high consumer attention. During the baby kiwi harvest, a large amount of leaves falls and stay in the soil. To the best of our knowledge, few studies concerning their composition are reported. The aim of this study is to determine and compare the total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC, respectively) as well as the antioxidant activity (through DPPH and FRAP assays) of leaf extracts from different baby kiwi cultivars. The extracts were obtained taking into consideration sustainable conditions (namely solvents and temperatures).
