Potential of Ciplukan (Physalis Angulata L.) as Source of Functional Ingredient

The aims of the study was to obtain a comprehensive data of the ciplukan as functional ingredients, whose efficacy acts as immunomodulator and antioxidant. The extraction of ciplukan was performed using ethanol and water as solvent. The total phenol content and antioxidant activity of ethanol ciplukan extract was higher than that of using water. The ciplukan leave extracts at all concentrations observed induced an increased lymphocyte cell proliferation, however, all concentrations tested showed lower stimulation index compared to the mitogen.
