Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the proximate and vitamin C of Physalis. Two species of Physalis, namely, P. angulata L. and P. peruviana L., used as models for a comparative study. Proximate composition, fiber, and vitamin C of all part of Physalis, i.e., leaf, stem, bud, and fruit of Physalis were analyzed. Physalis angulata collected from Pagaden subdistrict (latitude: 6030’24” S, longitude: 107048’74”E, elevation: 55 MAMSL) Subang District, West Java Province, and Physalis peruviana collected from Pamulihan subdistrict (latitude: 6052’27.06”S, longitude: 107049’24.95”E, elevation: 947 MAMSL), Sumedang district, West Java Province. The results of the study showed that the existence of proximate composition and vitamin C in plant shoot of P. angulata and P. peruviana relatively evenly spread. The proximate composition and vitamin C of Physalis angulata had the same pattern as compared to that of Physalis peruviana. The results of paired sample test showed that there were no significant differences in proximate composition and vitamin C between Physalis angulata and Physalis peruviana.
