Abstract
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) is an exotic fruit used for centuries, mainly as a fresh edible fruit and in folk medicine. P. peruviana fruit is protected by a calyx covering the fruit during different stages of development and maturity. Recent studies have focused on P. peruviana fruit biowastes and byproducts. P. peruviana calyx is considered the highest biowaste produced during the harvesting, processing, and selling of P. peruviana fruit. P. peruviana calyx is rich in numerous bioactive phytochemicals that possessed different biological potentials, including antiinflammatory, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic, and anticancer effects. The current findings demonstrated the functional potential of different P. peruviana calyx extracts, suggesting them to be promising candidates for applications in cosmetics, in the formulations of novel foods, and for treating several diseases. This chapter aimed to review and highlight the chemistry and functionality of P. peruviana calyx and its different extracts.
