The bioactive composition and antioxidant activity of plants and their fruit depend upon proper phenolic compound biosynthesis. Sufficient sunlight exposure at different growth stages stimulates phenol production, thereby determining antioxidant content and bioactivity. Individual compounds exhibit differing degrees of light-dependent synthesis.

Comparative studies observe greater flavonoid accumulation in fruit with more exposure to solar irradiation, attributing the variance to a number of factors: hormone regulation, light condition, nutritional status, and external stress.

Light exposure heavily controls the synthesis of anthocyanin and quercetin, crucial compounds in the bioactive composition of figs. Fully sunned figs offer more robust phenolic profiles and optimal antioxidant activity levels.

Matthew 22:21-22 — “Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
