“…Date kernels have been incorporated into bakery products and chocolate ( Platat et al, 2015 ) while roasted date kernels are proposed as an excellent decaffeinated alternative to coffee ( Venkatachalam and Sengottian, 2016 ). A nutraceutical drink containing polyphenols from date kernel powder has also been developed as a therapy against chronic diseases ( Ahmed et al, 2017 ).…”

Background: Emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria makes exploration of natural antibacterial products imperative. Like other fruit processing industry by-products, date kernels, a waste from date processing industry is rich in its extractable polyphenols. The rich polyphenolic content suggests that date kernel extracts (DKE) can be a cost-effective source of antimicrobial agents, however, their antibacterial activity is poorly understood. Hence, a systematic review of available literature to establish DKE’s antibacterial activity is warranted.Methods: A systematic PRISMA approach was employed, and relevant studies were identified using defined keywords from Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. The search results were screened based on predefined eligibility criteria and data extraction, organization, pooling, and descriptive statistical analyses of original research records conducted.Results: A total of 888 published records were retrieved from databases. Preliminary screening by applying specific eligibility criteria reduced records to 96 which after full text screening further decreased to 14 records. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were the most studied organisms. Results indicate moderate to highly active effect shown by the less polar solvent based DKE’s against Gram-positive and by the aqueous based DKE’s against Gram-negative bacteria. The review confirms antibacterial activity of DKE against both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Heterogeneity in reported polyphenolic content and antibacterial activity are due to differences in cultivars, extraction methods, test methods, model organisms, etc. Use of standardized protocols for isolation, characterization, testing of DKE’s active polyphenols to elucidate its antibacterial activity is recommended to establish the clinical efficacy of natural antibacterial compounds from DKE.Conclusion: This review outlines the current knowledge regarding antibacterial activity of polyphenolic DKE, identifying gaps in information and provides key recommendations for future research directions.

“…It contains 7.7%–12.5% oil on an average basis (Al‐Farsi & Lee, ). Secondary metabolites mainly phenolic compounds and antioxidants are substantially present in date pit oil (Ahmed et al, ). Besbes, Blecker, Deroanne, Drira, and Attia () found that the oxidative stability of date pit oil was higher than that of most vegetable oils.…”

The study was planned to formulate edible wax coating by utilizing date pit oil. Date pit oil was extracted from three date varieties (Aseel, Hallawi, and Dhakki) through solvent extraction method. One variety was selected on the basis of physicochemical analysis of date pit oil. The different treatments (T1, T2, T3, and T4) of wax coating were formulated by replacing water in standard wax formulation with date pit oil as 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, respectively. The storage studies were carried out for 16 days; different fruit parameters like pH, weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity, fruit firmness, and vitamin C content were studied. Results indicated significant improvement in the shelf life of coated guava fruits as compared to uncoated guava fruits.T4 showed highest keeping quality as compared to T3, T2, and T1. Practical applications This research work is novel in the field of edible coating by using date pit oil as natural barrier against environmental factors affecting the shelf life of guava fruit. There is immense potential in this new commodity to explore more applications of promising importance. Moreover, this study can be replicated for other fruits and vegetables to curtail postharvest losses and supplementing economic benefits.
