Abstract
A member of the Rosaceae family, Cydonia
oblonga M. is a medicinal plant that is used to cure and/or prevent a
number of illnesses, including diabetes, cancer, hepatitis, ulcers, lung, and
urinary infections. Quince, or Cydonia oblonga, is a plant that is widely used
for its secondary metabolites, which include sugars, tannins, organic acids,
flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, and glycosides. Different components of C.
oblonga have been linked to a broad range of pharmacological actions, including
anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antibacterial, antifungal, antidepressant,
antidiarrheal, hypolipidemic, diuretic, and hypoglycemic effects. In order to
treat wounds on the skin, glucuronoxylan, polysaccharide mucilage, is extruded
from C. oblonga seeds. This review concentrates on in-depth analyses of the
plant's pharmacological and phytomedicinal properties in addition to its highly
valuable phytochemicals.
