Abstract: Terpenoids，especially triterpene acids in loquat has efficacy on anti-inflammatory，anti-oxidation，tumor cell proliferation-resistance for abundant pharmacological constituents. In the last decades，increasing attention about terpenoids was given in the food industry and medicine production. Accordingly，study about the triterpene acid biosynthesis and its relative bioactive components utilization in loquat gains more and more concerns. In this manuscript，we presented the advances of triterpene acids and sesquiterpenoids identification in loquat and bioactive activity assessment. The latest identified key enzyme or rate-limiting enzyme genes regulating terpene biosynthesis were also introduced. This manuscript aimed to make a brief summary of loquat terpenoid，which will be helpful for the related researches such as the utilization of bio-engineering in loquat to produce target terpenoid components.
