“…Phoenix dactylifera, belongs to tree palm family Arecaceae, consumed throughout the world and is an important part of the diet in the Middle East (Barh and Mazumdar, 2008). Phytochemical screening has revealed dried date pol--lens to contain sterols and other supplements such as vitamins and co---factors (Ishurd et al, 2003) and lack volatile substances (Hussein et al, 1998). Phytochemi--cal analyses of fruit flesh and seed of date revealed the presence of flavonoids (luteolin, methyl luteolin, quer--cetin, and methyl quercetin), flavanols (catechin, epi--catechin) (Al---shahib and Marshall, 2003;Bennett et al, 1966;Heftmann et al, 1965), free phenolic acids (pro--tocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, and feru--lic acid) (Mahran et al, 1976;Tabeta et al, 2002), tan--nins, glycosides, cardiac glycosides and steroids (cho--lesterol, stigmasterol, campesterol and α---sitosterol), essential amino acids (Biglari et al, 2008;Hong et al, 2006;Ziouti et al, 1996); and nine bound phenolic ac--ids (gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, p---hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, syringic acid, p--coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and o---coumaric acid) (Hong et al, 2006;Hussein et al, 1998) respectively.…”
