| Abstract | ||
| The sugars in the Iraqi fresh fig fruit (Al-Wazeri, Kadota, White Adriatic, and Black Diala Variety) were examined; which are the major nutrient components in fig (Ficus Carica L., Moraceae). Glucose and fructose contents were assessed in different Iraqi fresh fig cultivars using paper chromatographic analysis and then determined by spectrophotometric method. The values of glucose and fructose range from 9.41 – 20.27 and 6.25–12.53 g/100 g of fresh matter, respectively. While the values of sucrose and glactose range from 1.15– 2.30 and 1.12– 2.01 g/100 g of fresh matter, respectively. All cultivars were rich in mineral elements, especially in Ca, K and P. Which were being determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer methods. Their values were: 572, 222.25 and 152.875 mg/100 g, respectively. While the other elements Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg and Na were having very low values. | ||
