Nutritional value antioxidant strength and antimicrobial efficacy of fig pastes from eastern morocco.

ABSTRACT: Figs are delectable, beneficial, nutritious, and seasonal; nevertheless, they deteriorate quickly, making processing the optimal method for preservation. Drying figs is the most practical and efficient way to preserve them. Paste is another possibility. The present study emphasizes the nutritional value of two fig pastes, as well as their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Ghoudane (GD) and Chetoui (CH) fig pastes are high in sugars, fiber, minerals, and antioxidants, making them nutritious. The HPLC-UV-MS/MS analysis identified bioactive compounds of the two fig pastes under investigation. The CH paste was found mainly to contain gallic acid, quercetin, 3'-methyl ether, and neochlorogenic acid. Similarly, the GD paste notably comprises catechin, 3'-methyl ether, and neochlorogenic
