The text also delves into the potential applications of Ficus carica in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

Fig (Ficus carica): Production, Processing, and Properties showcases a wide range of advancements in food science and horticultural research, encompassing:

Production, processing, chemistry, and functional properties of Ficus carica.

Phytochemicals and their health-promoting effects in Ficus carica.

Food, non-food, and technological applications of Ficus carica.

Recent research endeavors focused on exploring the bioactive compounds, therapeutic traits, and mechanisms of action of medical plant extracts and bioactive phytochemicals.

Ficus carica holds significant importance due to its widespread applications in food, industry, and medicine. While Ficus carica products are already available in the international market, there is a lack of a comprehensive reference work that covers the production, processing, chemistry, and properties of this important plant. This book aims to fill that gap and provide a valuable resource for researchers, industry professionals, and enthusiasts alike.
