Keywords:
Pyrus communis, chemical compounds, plants, bioactivitiesAbstract
Pyrus communis (pear) belongs to family Rosaceae (rose) family. It is one of the oldest plant cultured by man. The trees can live for a long period. It contains many secondary compounds and phytochemicals which help to defend us from many diseases. Such secondary compounds are arbutin, quercetin, anthocyanin which help in many ways such as arbutin helps in skin whitening and eating fresh pear daily prevent from uterine cancer especially in women disease.
