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.

Development and in vitro evaluation of chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating Phoenix dactylifera L. (Ajwah) seed extract with supporting in silico molecular docking analysis

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 163-183, March 2026.
Abstract This research describes the engineering of chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) via ionic gelation to encapsulate Ajwah seed extract (ASE), repurposing a plant waste product for its documented antioxidant and anticancer potential. Physicochemical analysis confirmed the formation of stable nanoparticles with hydrodynamic diameters between 152.3 and ...

Seedling date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) as genetic resources

Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2013
An accelerating worldwide trend toward planting elite cultivars is leading to genetic erosion and a narrowing of the gene pool upon which the date-palm industry is based. Large numbers of seedling dates are known in many major date-growing countries, as well as in naturalized populations in Spain and the Americas where the palm was intentionally ...
