Changes in antioxidant capacity during development and ripening of goldenberry (Physalis peruviana L.) fruit and in response to 1-methylcyclopropene treatment

Antioxidant activity and free radical-scavenging of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) in hepatocellular carcinoma rats model

“…[ [12][13][14] Cape gooseberry extracts show antioxidant activity, [15,16] anti-inflammatory activity, [17,18] and anti-hepatotoxic [18] and antiproliferative effects on hepatoma cells. [19] This fruit also has excellent potential as a food-based strategy for anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive products.…”

Exploring the potential of an Andean fruit : an interdisciplinary study on the cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) value chain

“…The altitude of cultivation did not have a significant effect on vitamin C content in cape gooseberry [60]. During post-harvest, presence of the calyx allowed the vitamin C stability [95].…”

“…Reported studies on vitamin C in cape gooseberry from Ecuador, Peru and Argentina are not comparable due to difference in experimental conditions or lack of reported information [93, 92,94,95]. Location of cultivation might me another cause of variation in results.…”

“…The large variation of TPC contents might be caused by the different use of varieties/cultivars/ ecotypes [96,92]. Maturity stages show higher phenolic compound contents when the fruit was still in the plant [96,98,112,100,95]. So far, there is not more published information about TPC content of cape gooseberry during pre-harvest and post-harvest.…”

“…Only studies evaluating vitamin C in various ripeness stages were included. Some studies indicated a directly proportional association of vitamin C to ripeness stage [101,99,95]. Normalized data showed significant differences between means of vitamin C at the 6 stages (P < 0.05).…”
