Abstract
The main objective of this study is to optimize and analyze the bioactive substances of functional tea prepared from Ficus carica L. leaves according to the traditional practices in Kabylia regions (Tipaza and Tizi-Ouzou). The optimal extraction conditions of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), tannin content (TC), and total chlorophyll content (TCC) were determined using the response surface methodology (RSM). The main results show that the optimum extraction conditions were 18.36 min at 41.15 °C with a particle size of 52.27 µm. Other therapeutic effects have to be revealed and demonstrated. The prepared tea characterized by a high TPC value of about 203.713 g GAE/100 g d.b.
