Abstract :In this study, organic acids and sugar compositions of some important loquat cultivars grown in Turkey were determined. Fifteen loquat cultivars were analyzed and there were significant differences in all determined quality parameters between the loquat cultivars. The minimum and maximum oxalic, tartaric, malic, citric and succinic acids content of the samples were found as; 14.96 (Ottowiani)-26.57 (Uzun Çukurgöbek), 40.88 (Kanro)-89.54 (Ottowiani), 368.56 (Champeigne De Grasse)-842.49 (Taza), 6.24 (Gold Nugget)-14.71 (Sayda) and 10.39 (Madam Maria)-28.68 mg kg -1 (Akko XIII) respectively. Among the varieties, Champaigne De Grasse contained the highest fructose (7.48%) and glucose (5.45%) content while Gold Nugget had the lowest glucose (5.92%) and Taza has the lowest fructose content (3.88%).Keywords : -
