Abstract: | The highlands, in the Serra do Espinhaço, comprise the only “Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems” (GIAHS) in Brazil, a title granted by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO/UN). Studies have been conducted in this GIAHS, especially to adapt new fruit species of high added value to production systems. Physalis peruviana Linnaeus (Solanaceae) is a semi-shrub, erect, perennial plant in subtropical areas, native to the Andean region of South America. The production estimated per plant of this species is between 2-3 kg with a cycle lasting up to eight months. The fruits of P. peruviana are marketed fresh or processed and anti-tumor, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory activities are associated with their consumption. In addition, P. peruviana is valued for its high antioxidant power and phenolic content. |
