“…From ancient times, date palm pollen grain (DPPG, male germ powder of palm flowers) was used to improve reproductive performances in men and woman as dietary supplement. DPPG has a potent nutritive importance as it is rich in phytochemicals such as estrone, α-amirin, triterpenoidal saponins, flavonoids estrone, estradiol, estriol and a crude gonadotrophic substance (Abedi et al, 2014).…”

-Nattat, 2018. Effects of Phoenix dactylifera pollen grains extract supplementation on post-thaw quality of Arabian stallion semen. Bulg. J. Vet. Med., 21, No 1,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] This study explored the effect of extender supplementation with different concentrations of date palm pollen grain (DPPG) on post-thawed sperm motility, viability index, membrane and acrosome integrities in Arabian stallions. Five ejaculates from each of four Arabian stallions were subjected to cryopreservation with a modified INRA-82, without any supplementation (control) or supplemented with 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg DPPG. After thawing, all samples were maintained at 37 o C, while analyses were performed at 0, 1, and 2 and 3 hours. Sperm motility percentage, viability index, membrane integrity percentage and acrosome integrity of each sample were determined by conventional laboratory methods. The addition of 100 mg DPPG resulted in improved maintenance of sperm motility after 0 and 60 min post-thawing, as compared to the control and other treatment groups. Nonsignificant effects on viability index were observed after enrichment of extender with 100 and 150 mg DPPG. The addition of 100 and 150 mg DPPG resulted in significant (P<0.0010) improvement in post-thawing membrane integrity (41.33±0.83%; 41.33±2.33%) compared to the controls (34.33±1.55%). These concentrations exerted also a beneficial effect in preserving sperm acrosome integrity (38.33±1.01%; 38.67±1.64%) as compared with the control one (33.33±1.12%). Supplementation of modified INRA-82 with 200 mg DPPG failed to maintain sperm motiliy while 250 mg PG has a negative impact on all studied post-thawing semen parameters. In conclusion, adding 100 and 150 mg date palm pollen grain extract to modified INRA-82 seemed useful in the chilling and freezing process of Arabian stallion sperm.

Background: Natural resources have been the crucial origin of chemical elements. They have been used in many traditions as alternative medicines. The chemical profiling of some plant extracts and essential oils related to different plants were followed to unveil their most active components. In this paper, Phoenix dactilyfera L was selected as a host plant to investigate the composition of different organs with different cultivars. Materials and method:The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the extracts have been tested using different techniques, including optical density and GC/MS analyses of the natural extracts. Results: GC/MS analysis revealed the presence of abundant oleic (36.69%) and lauric (20.49%) acids in date seeds. However,the pollen contains a high amount of palmitic (22.27 %), linoleic (33.4%) and linolenic (17.055%) acids. Moreover, the largest inhibition zone is obtained with the organic extract of Deglet Nour which showed a strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and pollen extract showed also a strong inhibition against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, S. aureus MRSA and Enterococcus faecalis. Aqueous extracts of date palm seeds of and pollen seem to have a fongitoxique activity from a concentration of 6 mg.mL -1 and 12mg.mL -1 of cyanidine; as well as the organic extracts of pollen with a concentration of 90 µg.mL -1 induce an inhibition to the growth of five special forms of Fusarium oxysporum. Conclusion:The bioactive compounds of date palm can be used for drug development and in the food industry.

Abstract:Dates are considered as the most important food in the south-west oases of Algeria. The Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) has known some kind of specificity in its different life phases, compared to all the rest of oases cultivate plants. It is thanks to that person could settle down. A study within a ministerial research project about the date palm variety in the previous areas has shown that there are 400 spices of dates. Thanks to this diversification types, members of this community were able to acquire experience in the field of the uses of date in their nutritional behaviour. Harvest begins from precocious summer's soft date variety in June, as in the late autumn variety in October. In addition, there are different type of the date: wet, semi-wet and dry date. For each variety, there is a particular method of its use. It is an example of sustainable food, is the one present in all oasis occasions. The aim of the current study was to examine the different methods of nutritional ate uses, in Touat, Gourara and Tidikelt, by its inhabitants, and to show the local skills sustained across the generations.
