“…There have also been attempts to package fresh fruits to preserve them for the purpose of a longer shelf life. A specific packaging is used because fig is a perishable food [ 84 ]. Figs share some characteristics with grapes in terms of their composition and aroma; furthermore, figs are grown in the same area as grapes are grown.…”

The current review was carried out on the industrial application of fig by-products and their role against chronic disorders. Fig is basically belonging to fruit and is botanically called Ficus carica. There are different parts of fig, including the leaves, fruits, seeds and latex. The fig parts are a rich source of bioactive compounds and phytochemicals including antioxidants, phenolic compounds, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols and vitamins. These different parts of fig are used in different food industries such as the bakery, dairy and beverage industries. Fig by-products are used in extract or powder form to value the addition of different food products for the purpose of improving the nutritional value and enhancing the stability. Fig by-products are additive-based products which contain high phytochemicals fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants. Due to the high bioactive compounds, these products performed a vital role against various diseases including cancer, diabetes, constipation, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Concussively, fig-based food products may be important for human beings and produce healthy food.

“…The above has led to the search for alternative strategies that not only protect fig fruits from damage but also extend their shelf-life. Therefore, the current studies are mostly focused on evaluating of the effect of temperature [14,15], packaging in modified atmospheres [16], the use of chemical agents [17], radiation [18], and the development of coatings that preserve the quality attributes of the fruits [9]. The most used polymers are chitosan, sodium alginate, agar, and gum Arabic [9,19,20].…”

Macrolepiota sp. CS185 is a basidiomycete with high potential as a biocontrol agent against various phytopathogenic fungi. Regardless of its pronounced potential as a post-harvest fungi biocontrol agent, its activity in tomato seedlings infected with Alternaria alternata has not been well studied. Thus, the present work aimed to evaluate the cultures and supernatants’ antagonistic activity against fig fruits’ post-harvest fungi and antifungal activity production kinetics. The culture antagonistic characteristics were assessed through multiple confrontations, the supernatant concentration effect, and the kinetics of antagonistic action. The multiple confrontations showed differences (p ≤ 0.05) among phytopathogens and over time, with Colletotrichum sp. 2 being the most susceptible. Based on the 9-day incubation profile, the treatment fractions supplemented with a 50% concentration of Macrolepiota sp. CS185 supernatants showed a higher inhibition percentage (%In). Except for Alternaria alternata 1 and 2, the rest of the isolates showed a similar decrease in antagonistic activity up to a certain extent over time. Among all tested strains, Colletotrichum sp. 2 was found with a higher susceptibility. Regarding the production kinetics of antagonistic activity, a triple interaction was observed between the phytopathogen, the age of the Macrolepiota sp. CS 185 culture, and incubation time. In addition, changes in the mycelium growth rate (p ≤ 0.05) along with the higher activity in the supernatants of 20 and 30 days were observed and suggested the production of multiple bioactive metabolites. These results indicate that Macrolepiota sp. CS185 produces antifungal metabolites at different times and could be a suitable candidate to control fig fruits’ post-harvest fungi issues.

“…The color of the epidermis has been regarded as one of the most valued characteristics of figs (King et al, 2012). This is due to the fact that both consumers and marketers associate this characteristic with the quality of the fruit, which can be simply achieved with the use of low temperature (Martínez-Damián et al, 2020). As temperature control is highly important to prevent spoilage of figs during storage, combining low storage temperature with MAP is expected to significantly extend the shelf life of figs.…”

The effects of antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds of Diplazium esculentum Retz. and Stenochlaena palustris incorporated with 1.5% of sodium alginate edible coating, combined with modified atmosphere packaging were studied on figs (Ficus Carica L.) and stored at 5 ± 1°C for 25 days. The addition of D. esculentum Retz. extracts were able to maintain ideal gas composition within the packaging, retained fruit firmness, minimized loss of titratable acidity while S. palustris extracts helped to minimize the change of pH, maintain total soluble solids level, prevent a drastic color change of the fruits, and reduce microbial growth as compared to control (p < .05). Overall, the use of D. esculentum Retz. and S. palustris extracts with MAP allowed for the extension of the shelf life of figs for 25 days. The outcome provides an opportunity in developing a low cost, practical, and straightforward technique to the enhance shelf life of exotic fruits to support small‐scale farmers and producers. Novelty impact statement Diplazium esculentum and Stenochlaena palustris extracts were first time incorporated into sodium alginate as edible coating on fig (Ficus carica L.). In combination with modified atmosphere packaging with low‐temperature storage, this strategy is able to extend the shelf‐life of fig fruits up to 25 days. This proposed method is cost‐effective, practical, and straightforward way to enhance the shelf life of exotic fruits to support small‐scale farmers and producers.
