Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Date syrup are used as sweetener in bread. Bread with date syrup had superior phenolic composition, better antioxidant properties and carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes while bread with granulated sugar had higher predicted glyceamic index. The study concluded that date syrup could be the next though‐out ingredient for dual purpose in bread. ABSTRACT The

Trajectories of Dietary Energy, Macro and Micronutrient Intake From the Third Trimester of Pregnancy to 8.5 Months Postpartum Among Brazilian Women: The Mothers, Infants and Lactation Quality Study. [PDF]
Matern Child NutrThe trajectories of energy, macro, and micronutrient intake from pregnancy to 8.5 months postpartum showed a stability in energy and protein, a decline in carbohydrates and fibre, and discrete increases in total fat, mono, poly, and saturated fat. In addition, there was a decline in the intake of most micronutrients.

Sugar palm (Argena pinnata). Potential of sugar palm for bio-ethanol production [PDF]
, 2010 The energetic and economic feasibility of bioethanol production from sugar palm is virtually unknown. A positive factor are the potentially very high yields while the long non-productive juvenile phase and the high labor needs can be seen as problematic.

Date palm fibre reinforced composite as a new insulating material
International Journal of Energy Research, 2003 Several panels of date palm leave (DPL) reinforced composites were fabricated using either autoclaving technique with vacuum bagging or press moulds with controlled temperature. Several fibre orientation and dimensions were tested. Two types of resins were selected. The first was a high temperature curing Phenolic (phenol formaldehyde) resin.
