The fruit is full of fibers and vitamins, so it is consumed worldwide for its beneficial effect on the body. Their active constituents are sugars, alkaloids, saponins, gum, resin, polyphenols, anthocyanins, flavonoids, omega fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, and B6, C. Fig also contains an important enzyme ficin, which is similar to papain the enzyme present in papaya. The extract is yellow to light yellow liquid.
