„Along with cultivars of P. × bretschneideri and P. ussuriensis, the fruit is also called the nashi pear.“

„The volatile constituents of Asian pear were isolated using vacuum steam distillation-extraction (vacuumSDE)
and dynamic headspace sampling of intact and blended fruit. The samples were analyzed by high-resolution gas
chromatography and GC/MS… Odor unit values calculated from concentration and odor threshold data indicate that the following compounds are important contributors to pear aroma: ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl butanoate, ethyl 2-methylpropanoate, hexyl acetate, ethyl heptanoate, hexanal, ethyl pentanoate, and ethyl propanoate…
Due to its particularly low odor threshold of 0.006 ppb, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate appears to be an important contributor to pear aroma… Analysis of fresh pear extract obtained by vacuum SDE revealed that ethyl 2-methyl-butanoate occurred in exclusively the S(+) configuration. Earlier studies had shown that this important ester is also present in exclusively the S(+) configuration in pineapple (Takeoka et al., 1990) and predominantly in the S(+) configuration in Granny Smith apples (Mosandl et al., 1991).“
