The current experiment was carried out to determine the effect of application ethephon on maturation “Peter” figs. Fig fruits were treated with three aqueous concentrations (500, 1000, and 1500 ppm) during developmental stage. physic-chemical characteristics, such as fruit weight, length, diameter, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity recorded analysed. results showed that period fig significant...

Sea sand disruption method (SSDM) and matrix solid phase disruption (MSPD) were compared to solid-liquid extraction (SLE) for extraction of phenolic compounds from the Ficus carica leaves. Statistical treatment, ANOVA-single factor, was used to compare the extraction yields obtained by these methods, and for the majority of the extracted compounds, significantly higher yields were obtained by t...

Ficus carica grows in tropical and subtropical regions of India, it is used in indigenious system of medicine like ayurveda, siddha, unani and homoeopathy. Different biologically active compounds were isolated form this plant. The barks, leaves,fruits are considered to be very effective in various treatments, such as diabetes, skin diseases, ulcers, dysentry, diarrohoea, stomachache, piles . La...
