MENDOZA CH, JAIME HUMBERTO; RODRIGUEZ DE S, AIDA  e  MILLAN C, PATRICIA. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF GOLDEN BERRY FRUIT (Physalis peruviana) IN THE REGION OF SILVIA CAUCA. Rev.Bio.Agro [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.2, pp.188-196. ISSN 1692-3561.

In Colombia Golden berry fruit (Physalis peruviana) stands out as an export product and currently ranks second after bananas.In the area of Silvia (Cauca) exist cultivated fruits such as blackberries, lulus and golden berries; these are not exploited by the lack of technical training and negotiation power of producers , leading to losses of these products, at harvest time. In this study it was analyzed a fruit with greater market potential such as goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) determining their physicochemical and dimensional characteristics in terms of color, Brix, water activity, pH, titratable acidity, density, viscosity, content of ascorbic acid solids and total reducing sugars. In the rural market of Silvia (Cauca) the ecotype of the golden berry (Physalis peruviana) found was caracterizated by degrees of coloration 4, 5 and 6 predominating ripening lots with 5 with 43,3%. The data were analyzed using Dunn's test and Kruskal Wallis. We found that this is a fruit suitable for processing with pH 3,7, acidity 2,0%, 13% soluble solids.
