“…The other classes of VOCs in order of importance were alcohols, represented mainly in Claudia samples by C6-compounds: cis-3-hexeno-1-ol, trans-2-hexenol and 1hexanol, which have been reported to contribute to the green aromas of loquat (23). Esters, mainly represented by γ-butyrolactone, prevailed in Claudia, as well as organic acids, responsible for floral and fruity notes (24). MW drying led to an evolution in VOCs: alcohols decreased in all samples, esters diminished in Claudia and Peluche, while they were constant in Virticchiara dried fruits.…”

“…Quercetin, along with catechin and epicatechin, is a highly powerful flavonoid compound that is present in significant amounts in loquat (Sultan, 2017). Loquat possess 41.7 µg/g of quercetin (Ghasemnezhad et al, 2011).…”

“…Botanically, loquat is known as Eriobotrya japonica , which means “wool of Japan.” The plant is native to southeast China and goes by the name Rush Orange. Thunberg found it in Japan (Sultan, 2017). It is an evergreen shrub with an orbital crown, teeny trunk, and vague twigs.…”

This review study highlights the importance of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) in terms of its nutritional, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical value. The entire plant, including its seeds, leaves, flowers, fruits, and peel, contains a wide range of bioactive compounds, such as phenolics, carotenoids, triterpenic acids, and organic acids. These compounds exhibit a wide range of beneficial properties such as fighting cancer, reducing inflammation, managing diabetes, combating viruses, preventing mutations, inhibiting nitrosamine formation, killing harmful microorganisms, lowering blood sugar levels, inducing cell death, and protecting the liver. The extraction and separation of such compounds will greatly enhance and expand its potential. Furthermore, the waste generated from the seeds and peel can be effectively used for submerged and solid state biomass production.

“…Loquats can scavenge free radicals and inhibit low-density lipoprotein oxidation, and they are frequently utilized in the food industry to produce juices, fruit wines, and jams [ 3 , 5 ]. The health benefits of loquats are primarily conferred by antioxidants, especially phenolic compounds [ 6 , 7 ]. These phenolic compounds enhance the quality of the fruits, contributing to their sensory and nutritional value [ 8 ].…”

The newly released ‘Snow White’ (SW), a white-fleshed loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) cultivar, holds promise for commercial production. However, the specifics of the phenolic composition in white-fleshed loquats, along with the antioxidant substances and their regulatory mechanisms, are not yet fully understood. In this study, we examined the dynamic changes in the phenolic compounds, enzyme activities, antioxidant capacity, and gene expression patterns of SW during the key stages of fruit development and ripening. A total of 18 phenolic compounds were identified in SW, with chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, and coniferyl alcohol being the most predominant. SW demonstrated a stronger antioxidant capacity in the early stages of development, largely due to total phenolics and flavonoids. Neochlorogenic acid may be the most significant antioxidant contributor in loquat. A decline in enzyme activities corresponded with fruit softening. Different genes within a multigene family played distinct roles in the synthesis of phenolics. C4H1, 4CL2, 4CL9, HCT, CCoAOMT5, F5H, COMT1, CAD6, and POD42 were implicated in the regulation of neochlorogenic acid synthesis and accumulation. Consequently, these findings enhance our understanding of phenolic metabolism and offer fresh perspectives on the development of germplasm resources for white-fleshed loquats.
