| Sumario: | Among fruit plants belonging to the Rosaceae family, medlar (<i>Mespilus</i>) can be classified as neglected or underutilized. It is a genus of two species of flowering plants: <i>Mespilus germanica</i> (common medlar) and <i>Mespilus canescens</i>. Appreciated for its specific taste and flavor, medlar also possesses biological properties (antioxidant and antimicrobial). Despite the special properties of medlar, there are few research papers on this subject. This review paper includes data not only on medlar fruits but also its leaves, bark, and bud flowers. The main identified components are presented, as well as several biological properties, morphological properties, ethnopharmacological uses, and molecular biology analyses emerging from the scientific papers published in this area. |
