Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how in vitro gastrointestinal digestion affects the total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and anticancer properties of phenolic extracts from black and white fig latex, revealing a significant decrease in total phenolic content and antioxidant activity post-digestion (p<0.05).
