The contents of chlorophyll, β-carotene, lutein, and total ascorbic acid were determined in individual eating-ripe fruit of 'Hayward,' the most common commercially available kiwifruit cultivar. The total chlorophyll content in individual fruit widely varied in the range of 0.76-3.52 mg/100 g fresh weight. The respective contents of β-carotene and lutein in 'Hayward' fruit were in the range of 0.057-0.148 and 0.23-0.82 mg/100 g fresh weight. The content of total chlorophyll had a significant positive correlation with that of each carotenoid. These results suggest that the depth of the green fiesh color can be a visible index of the abundance of these carotenoids in 'Hayward' fruit. There was no correlation between the total chlorophyll content in these fruit and their richness in vitamin C.
