Background:The fig tree's fruits, once crucial for sustenance, are now prized as a gastronomic delicacy in sub-tropical and tropical regions, with limited production in temperate zones. Cultivated globally, fig trees show significant domestication, leading to enhanced fruit characteristics and vegetative propagation. In the wild, fig trees rely on bird-dispersed seeds, growing in diverse environments, including urban areas and Mediterranean landscapes.  Spontaneous fig populations are valuable for scientific research and breeding, with recent studies uncovering their nutritional and medicinal benefits, such as laxative effects and potential cancer cell inhibition from fig latex. While some pharmacological qualities of fig components have been explored, research in these areas remains limited.

Methods: A comprehensive evaluation of the antioxidant potential of botanical extracts involves a multifaceted approach, incorporating various techniques to assess different aspects of antioxidant activity. This evaluation typically begins with initial phytochemical analysis to identify and quantify bioactive compounds present in the extract, particularly phenolic and flavonoid compounds, which are known for their antioxidant properties.

Results:The findings suggest that seeds are abundant in antioxidants, indicating their promise as sources of phenolic compounds, withpotential for future antioxidant applications.

Conclusions:Based on the outcomes of this investigation, it can be inferred that the species demonstrates effectiveness in neutralizing free radicals and exhibits potent antioxidant property.
