CYDONIA OBLONGA - A VALUABLE SOURCE OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS AND ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS
Abstract
Quince (Cydonia oblonga) is a fruit of notable nutritional and therapeutic value, largely due to its high content of bioactive compounds. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the nutritional composition, antioxidant capacity, and polyphenolic profile of quince fruits Through standardized and rigorous physico-chemical analyses, the fruit was shown to possess a complex nutritional profile, with a particularly high concentration of vitamin C. Additionally, quince exhibited strong antioxidant activity, which can be attributed to its rich polyphenol content-compounds widely recognized for their protective roles in human health. The results of this investigation highlight the potential of Cydonia oblonga as a natural source of essential nutrients and bioactive substances. These findings support its relevance in the development of functional foods and its promising application in health promotion and the prevention of chronic diseases
