Abstract Fig fruit, Ficus carica Linn (F. carica) has natural active chemical constituents that own medicinal properties which enclose a vast scope of biological effects. The extracts of fresh matured of F. carica were used to screen for some active chemical constituents (qualitatively and quantitatively). The screening estimates the phytochemicals among the qualitative tests done for the presence of secondary metabolites; where the results contained in the crude aqueous and alcoholic extracts of F. carica fruits which are Triterpenoids, Steroids, Tannins, Protein, Glycosides, Reducing Sugars, Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Carbohydrates, Sugars, Fats, Fixed Oils, Saponins and vitamin C, where it was found that all the detected components were between medium and rich in presence in both extracts. While the result of weight loss of the fresh F. carica at room temperature was 41g with a percentage yields of 73%. And the results of ash content of fresh fruits were the weight of residual ash after burning 7.637g and the percentage of ash content 76.37%. And the results of the extraction yield percentage of the aqueous extract revealed 87% with a Creamish to Dark Brown and the ethanolic extract was 93% with Greenish Oily in colour. The results of the detected quantitative secondary metabolites of the phytochemicals were revealed that 58, 73, 65, and 53% for Saponins, Terpenoids, Alkaloids and Flavonoids, respectively. The greater percentage amount in fruits was obtained 73% for alkaloids and the lowest 53% was for Flavonoids. In addition, the results of the bioactivity of the aqueous extract against pathogenic bacteria were as follows 12, 13, 15 and 12 mm against each of P. aeruginosa, E. coli, B. subtilis and S. aureus, consequently. Whereas the ethanolic extract was as follows 18, 16, 20 and 17 mm against each of P. aeruginosa, E. coli, B. subtilis and S. aureus, consequently. Keywords: Ficus carica Linn; Chemical Constituents (Qualitatively and Quantitatively); Antibacterial Activity Introduction Humans have benefited from plants in diverse areas of their vitality, such as food, treatment, and other facets that are no less important. Various research studies on different plants include resulted in significant advantages to the plant oneself, as well as to humans, animals and the environment. This is because most plants contain effective chemical components such as secondary plant metabolites (phytochemicals), which play along with prevention and treatment for humans, for example. The secondary metabolites constituents are products of primary metabolites. As well, secondary metabolites are organic molecules that do not participate in the development and growth of an organism. While primary metabolites are responsible for the survival of living organisms, one of their tasks is photosynthesis. That is, the absence of secondary metabolites leads to long-term weakness of the Citation: Hawa Alsadi., et al. “Ficus carica Linn (Moraceae) Fruit's: Qualitative, Quantitative Phytochemical Screening and Antibacterial Activities".
