Medjool Date Seed Polysaccharides Attenuate DSS‐Induced Colitis and Associated Hepatic Oxidative Injury in Mice, Accompanied by Gut Microbiota Alterations

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2026.
Medjool date seeds were dried, milled, and extracted (80°C, 180 min), followed by centrifugation (1000 rpm, 15 min) and BCA analysis to obtain the polysaccharide fraction (MDSP), which was characterized by TEM, FTIR, XPS, NMR, UV‐Vis, and TGA. In Balb/c mice with DSS‐induced colitis (2.25% DSS, Day 1.15), oral administration of MDSP‐H (300 mg/Kg ...

Roasting‐Induced Changes in the Chemical Composition, Fatty Acid Profile, and Bioactive Properties of Kaluteh Date Pits

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Kaluteh date pits (≈10% of fruit weight), a major processing by‐product, are rich in carbohydrates (74.92%) and fat (9.30%), with lauric and oleic acids as the predominant fatty acids. Roasting reduced moisture to 4.05% and, combined with RSM‐optimized extraction (63°C, 2.03 h, SSR 0.017 g/mL), yielded extracts with TPC = 14.8 mg GAE/g and DPPH ...

FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF OMANI DATES (PHOENIX DACTYLIFERA L.)

Acta Horticulturae, 2007
Three sun-dried date varieties grown in Oman, namely Fard, Khasab, and Khalas, were examined for their proximate composition and functional constituents; dietary fiber, selenium, antioxidant, carotenoids, phenolics as well as phenolic acids. The study was conducted on dried dates due to their higher consumption compared with fresh dates.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 317-355, November 2026.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8014-8033, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...

Sustainable Plant‐Based Water Repellent Coatings Using Hydrophobic Pine and Palm Pollen

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 18, 22 September 2026.
A novel formulation strategy for creating superhydrophobic coatings using plant‐derived waxes and chemically treated pine and palm pollen. By employing acid modification, the hydrophobicity of the pollen surface is enhanced, resulting in water contact angles exceeding 150°.

From Suitability to Invasion Risk: Integrating Correlative and Mechanistic Models for Predicting the Potential Distribution of the Red Palm Weevil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The invasive Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (RPW) causes severe economic and ecological damage to palm systems worldwide. This study develops a hybrid modeling framework integrating correlative ecological niche models and a temperature‐driven mechanistic risk index, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy (sensitivity = 0.98) compared to individual ...
