Physicochemical, functional and nutritional properties of kiwifruit flour

Starch-rich kiwifruit was made into flour to manage the culled kiwifruit from harvesting and for potential value added processing. Physicochemical properties of the flours made from starchy (unripe)/starch-less (eating-ripe) kiwifruit (‘Hayward’ and Gold3) were studied and compared to those of traditional flours (potato, maize and wheat).
