A study of dietary fiber in Spanish kiwifruit in the fresh fruits and after freezing shows that fresh kiwifruit contain 2.18 to 2.84 grams per 100 grams dietary fiber, depending on the cultivars. Dietary fiber increased in all samples of kiwifruit after freezing. Total dietary fiber did not change during the nine months of frozen storage.The frozen sliced kiwifruits were more similar to the fresh kiwifruits with least compositional, appearance and flavor changes.
