Antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, extraction methods, Fruit extractAbstract
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana L.) is valued for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, with potential protective effects against non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). Its extracts have industrial applications, but their composition varies depending on the extraction method. This study compared three methods (blending, ultrasound-assisted, and maceration) with conventional maceration, evaluating yield, chromatographic profile, and biological activity. Results showed extraction yields of approximately 15% for all methods, with differences in anti-inflammatory and radical-scavenging activity. It was concluded that high-speed blending and ultrasound-assisted extraction are viable alternatives for obtaining ethanolic extracts of goldenberry.
