The presence of sterigmatocystin (ST) and O-methyl sterigmatocystin (Me-ST) which are both mycotoxins which are found as metabolic intermediates of aflatoxins (Sweeney and Dobson 1999) is unsurprising. ST was found in 23% of figs from the 2017 harvest at levels ranging from 1 to 3910 μg/kg and Me-ST in 35% of figs at levels ranging from 3 to 747 μg/kg. For the 2018 harvest, ST was found in 45% of figs at levels ranging from 1 to 135 μg/kg and Me-ST in 48% of figs at levels ranging from 1 to 2020 μg/kg. In all figs where ST or Me-ST was present, as expected, various levels of AFB1 were also found, with the exception of one intensely fluorescent fig (I-03-17) containing 3910 μg/kg of ST, but only 1 μg/kg of AFB1. MeST has previously been reported as occurring in dried figs (Senyuva et al. 2008b), but to our knowledge, this is the first report of the natural occurrence of ST which is otherwise commonly found in cereals and derived products as well as cheese. ST has been classified as a group 2B possible human carcinogen (IARC 1987), so there is obvious concern about its presence in food and feed.

Organic chemical compounds called furanocoumarins are known to cause phytophotodermatitis in humans. [51] The common fig contains significant quantities of two furanocoumarins, psoralen and bergapten. [52] The essential oil of fig leaves contains more than 10%psoralen, the highest concentration of any organic compound isolated from fig leaves. [53] Psoralen appears to be the primary furanocoumarin compound responsible for fig leaf-induced phytophotodermatitis.

Fig trees don’t require regular fertilization, however, if you notice that your tree is growing less than 12 inches in one growing season, you can add half a pound of nitrogen supplement to the base of the tree. Break this into three or four feedings starting in late winter and going until midsummer.

Visit Local Turkey . Retrieved 2023-07-07. Figs contain diverse phytochemicals under basic research for their potential biological properties, including polyphenols, such as gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, syringic acid, (+)- catechin, (−)-epicatechin and rutin. [44] [45] Fig color may vary between cultivars due to various concentrations of anthocyanins, with cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside having particularly high content.

Retrieved April 9, 2018.One of the really surprising findings (see Table 1) has been the presence of AFM1 at levels ranging from 1 to 2730 μg/kg and levels of aflatoxicol ranging from 2 to 818 μg/kg. AFM1 is well-recognized as a hydroxylated metabolite of AFB1 excreted in milk and urine after the ingestion of AFB1 contaminated feed or food by animals or humans (Ketney et al. 2017; Frazzoli et al. 2016). However, these two metabolites are not commonly reported to be found in crops naturally contaminated with AFB1, such as cereals, nuts, and dried fruit and are reported here for the first time as being present in dried figs. As a proportion of AFB1, levels of AFM1 ranged from 1.7 to 9.8% for the 2017 harvest, whereas a significantly higher proportion of AFM1 was found in 2018 ranging up to 36% (e.g., fig number I-24-18). It has been suggested that most strong fungal AFB1 producers produce AFM1 as well at a ratio of approx. 1:100 (Jens Frisvad, personal communication) and also it is relevant that under culture condition, several fungi including non-toxigenic A flavus are capable of hydroxylation of AFB1 to AFM1 (Nakazato et al. 1990, 1991).

There are dozens of fig cultivars, including main and breba cropping varieties, and an edible caprifig (the Croisic). Varieties are often local, found in a single region of one country. [34] [36] Overwintering [ edit ] I usually feel mission figs are rich in sugar and more honey-like. On the other hand, Turkish figs are more earthy with better flavor and smell.Turkish dried figs, on the other hand, are more natural besides being tasty. For these reasons, Turkish figs are demanded all around the globe. Figs are usually trained as fans, which are ornamental, space-saving and productive. To support the fan of branches, attach trellis or horizontal wires, spaced 30cm (1ft) apart, to the wall or fence. Fan-trained figs can be kept to about 1.8m (6ft) tall and 3.5m (11½ft) wide,or allowed to grow wider if you have more space. In colder locations, figs can be fan trained inside a greenhouse to horizontal wires hung 30cm (1ft) away from the glass. There are many differences. Here are the main fig tree varieties in Turkey and their attributes. Fig Variety/Kind of Fig
