“…Date pulp and seeds are rich in biologically active molecules, with variations based on the cultivar of origin [ 127 ], specifically polyphenols, mainly flavonoids [ 128 ], carotenoids and phytosterols [ 121 ], highlighting their nutritional quality. These phytochemical compounds underscore the antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity [ 129 ], hepatoprotective [ 130 ] and neuroprotective actions [ 131 ] and anti-lipidemic properties of date fruits, contributing to their overall health benefits in human consumption [ 103 , 120 , 121 , 124 , 132 , 133 ]. The study carried out by Alsukaibi et al, [ 134 ] indicated the presence of various components in date fruits, responsible for cytotoxicity against cancer cells.…”

The current levels of added sugars in processed foods impact dental health and contribute to a range of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This review presents sugars and sweeteners used in food processing, the current possibility to replace added sugars, and highlights the benefits of using dates as a new natural, nutritious and healthy alternative to synthetic and non-nutritive sweeteners. In the context of environmental sustainability, palm groves afford a propitious habitat for a diverse array of animal species and assume a pivotal social role by contributing to the provisioning of sustenance and livelihoods for local communities. The available literature shows the date as an alternative to added sugars due to its composition in macro and micronutrients, especially in bioactive components (fiber, polyphenols and minerals). Therefore, dates are presented as a health promoter and a preventative for certain diseases with the consequent added value. The use of damaged or unmarketable dates, due to its limited shelf life, can reduce losses and improve the sustainability of date palm cultivation. This review shows the potential use dates, date by-products and second quality dates as sugar substitutes in the production of sweet and healthier foods, in line with broader sustainability objectives and circular economy principles.

“…The diameters of ripe fruit are varying from kind to kind such as it is large in Deglet Noor and Hallawi 45 × 22.5 mm and 39 × 22 mm, respectively; medium like Zahidi 33 × 27 mm and small like Barhi 30 × 21 mm [7]. The DPD has natural components and they have been tested for their medical properties such as phytochemicals, sterols, carotenes, and flavonoids [8]. Iron, calcium, cobalt, fluorine, manganese, sodium, copper, and zinc are abundant in the pulp [9].…”

Phoenix dactylifera is an ancient tree that belongs to the Arecaceae family; its leaves, barks, fruits and pollens have highly anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, hepato-protective, neuro-protective, sexual improvement, anti-hyper lipidemic, and anti-microbial potentials. The broad pharmacological effects of Phoenix dactylifera may be attributed to the powerful and beneficial ingredients including phenolic, flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and organic acids. The present review was conducted to describe the beneficial and pharmacological preventive effects of Phoenix dactylifera through recoded the published data on web of science, Scopus and Google scholar databases to review the pharmacological effects of Phoenix dactylifera.
