Fig fruit has been a typical component in the health-promoting Mediterranean diet for millennia. To study the potential health-promoting constituents of fig fruits, six commercial fig varieties differing in color (black, red, yellow, and green) were analyzed for total polyphenols, total flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, and amount and profile of anthocyanins.

Shoot tips of two fig cultivars (Conadria and Black Mission) proliferated in vitro, were cultured on modified MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The present investigation aimed to investigate the effect of different medium salt strengths (Double, full, half and quarter) and different sources of carbon (sucrose and fructose) at different concentrations (0.1 and 0.2 m...

We present a biogenic method for the synthesis of palladium nanoparticle (PdNP)-modified by reducing graphene oxide sheets (rGO) in a one-pot strategy using Ficus carica fruit juice as the reducing agent. The synthesized material was well characterized by morphological and structural analyses, including, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra...
