Graphical Abstract: Samples of oils from seven types of Ficus carica L. fruits from Algeria were investigatedwith the aim to assess the chemical characteristics, quantifying sterols and tocopherols, and to analyse the fatty acids profiles using gas chromatography, and evaluation of antioxidant activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl method and total antioxidant activity using phosphomolybdenum methods. The results showed that the major unsaturated fatty acids of different lipid classes were linoleic (11.70-34.74%) and linolenic (1.15-35.27%), the main saturated fatty acids was palmitic. Aditionally, it was demonstrated for the first time that the studied figs oils possessed good antioxidant activity which may be associated with their alleged health benefits.
