Abstract
The Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) has historically been one of the most popular fruits in Korea because of its sweetness and juiciness. Nowadays, 81.5 % pears of the 'Niitaka' cultivar are grown in Korea, and most of these are consumed as table fruits. Due to the increase in consumer demand for novel Asian pear varieties, developing new cultivars is of great commercial interest. Since 1984, 'Niitaka' cultivar has been introduced in Korea and 13.3 % was developed into new cultivars in the last 20 years alone. Recently, the consumption rate of fresh Asian pears has been limited. The demand for pears, especially the 'Niitaka' cultivar has no longer increased. As a result, new cultivars of Asian pears have been introduced and their properties have been investigated. This review article provides an overview of the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities of new cultivars of Asian pears.
