Physalis peruviana L.: Growth, Yield and Phytochemical Content- A Review

Abstract

Physalis peruviana is one of the species in genus Physalis which is often cultivated in various regions including Indonesia. In Indonesia, P. peruviana is often called ciplukan. P. peruviana plants produce various phytochemical compounds which have benefical medicinal properties. P. peruviana plants have not been widely cultivated commercially as the information about cultivation practices of this plant are still limited. Many research activities have been done to study about its chemical and biological properties, but they are still not widely spread. Therefore, an effort has been made to compile the available inforamtion in this paper.

In Colombia, Cape gooseberry is widely grown in salt-affected soils, protecting itself from salinity stress by increasing leaf antioxidant activity [29] and has been classified as a moderately salt-tolerant crop [30].…”

Botanical, Chemical and Pharmacological Properties of Artocarpus lakoocha (Monkey Fruit): A Review

“…Fruits impart a significant role in the human diet since the ancient period and few of them have received particular attention. Nutritional values, phytochemical constituents and bioactive compounds of the fruits and vegetables have found the direct way of wellness awareness and human wellbeing (Kumar et al 2019;Mastinu et al 2019;Yamika et al 2019). Researchers and scientists have now recognized the potential of Artocarpus, including nutritional, nutraceuticals and pharmacological properties and have been utilized in the field of food, pharmacological and new product development (Khalid et al 2017) and are of great value in Asian countries and Thailand.…”
