Physalis peruviana L. fruit contains nutritional and bioactive compounds of immense importance to public health and represents a potential ingredient for the development of functional foods and beverages.
This study aimed to determine the chemical and nutritional composition as well as the antioxidant capacity of the P. peruviana L. fruit grown in Peru in three areas of the Central Andean region.
Proximal and physicochemical analyses and estimation of mineral content, vitamin C, total carotenoids, total polyphenols, and antioxidant capacity (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [DPPH] and 2, 2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) [ABTS] assays) were performed using standardized methods.
The fruits were collected from three regions of the Peruvian Andes (Ancash, Cajamarca, and Cusco). The results showed that the content of potassium (306.54-327.60 mg/100 g) and iron (12.93-14.47 mg/kg) was prominent. The Physalis fruit had high levels of vitamin C (47.20-52.20 mg/100 g), total polyphenols (68.17-83.40 mg equivalents of gallic acid/100 g), and carotenoids (1.12-1.73 mg β-carotene/100 g). Higher values for antioxidant capacity were obtained with the ABTS method (896-1003.33 μmol Trolox/100 g) than with the DPPH method (290-309 μmol Trolox/100 g).
This study confirms that the P. peruviana fruit has properties that could provide important health benefits and that it could be used for the development of functional foods and food supplement.
灯笼果富含对公众健康极为重要的营养和生物活性化合物，是开发功能性食品和饮料的潜在原料。
本研究旨在测定秘鲁安第斯中部地区三个区域种植的灯笼果的化学和营养成分以及抗氧化能力。
采用标准化方法进行近似和理化分析，并测定矿物质含量、维生素C、总类胡萝卜素、总多酚和抗氧化能力（2,2-二苯基-1-苦基肼[DPPH]和2,2'-偶氮二（3-乙基苯并噻唑啉-6-磺酸）[ABTS]法）。
果实采自秘鲁安第斯山脉的三个地区（安卡什、卡哈马卡和库斯科）。结果表明，钾（306.54 - 327.60毫克/100克）和铁（12.93 - 14.47毫克/千克）含量突出。灯笼果富含维生素C（47.20 - 52.20毫克/100克）、总多酚（68.17 - 83.40毫克没食子酸当量/100克）和类胡萝卜素（1.12 - 1.73毫克β-胡萝卜素/100克）。ABTS法测得的抗氧化能力值（896 - 1003.33微摩尔Trolox/100克）高于DPPH法（290 - 309微摩尔Trolox/100克）。
本研究证实，灯笼果具有能带来重要健康益处的特性，可用于开发功能性食品和食品补充剂。
