Fig Extract is extracted from the fruit of Ficus carica, which is a conventional plant used as a result of its dietary and medical benefits. Its extraction process is generally water or ethanol extraction with concentration and spray-drying that yields a fine powder extract. The end product is generally a light or brown color. The key active components contain polyphenols, flavonoids, organic acids, and natural sugars. Of these, ficin, which is a proteolytic enzyme, is the most bioactive, as well as other antioxidants. These substances combine their efforts to promote digestion, skin hydration, as well as facilitate metabolic activities. The extract additionally has mild prebiotic effects, which create a healthy condition in the gut. It can be used in health, wellness, and beauty products and will continue to grow and excel in promising markets throughout the world as clean-label, plant-based ingredients demand rises.
