Abstract :The chemical composition of pear juice, prepared from Akça, Ankara, Passe Crassane, Santa Maria, Starkrimson, Seker and Williams varieties, was investigated. Fructose insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean, 5.41%); was the main sugar component in pear juice samples and it was followed by glucose insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean, 2.06%); and sucrose insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean, 0.52%);. L-malic acid had the highest concentration insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean, 3.63 g/l); and small amount of citric acid was also found. Mineral compounds were ranked as K, P, Mg, Ca, Na and Fe in decreasing order, respectively.
