“…The measurement of phytochemical constituents showed the presence of a considerable amount of the polyphenols (38.38 ± 0.86 mg GAE), which were nearly similar to the reported polyphenols in the Sukkari dates ( Zihad et al, 2021 ). However, the flavonoid contents and tannin content was found to be at a lower level (4.12 ± 0.01 mg QE) and (8.12 ± 0.51 mg CE) as compared to the previous reports which can be attributed to the nature of the extract.…”

“…As reported, seeds are the major waste product of the data industry and have the potential to offer a solution for developing agents for medicinal value. Besides being a rich source of minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium, the seeds of the date palm are also rich in secondary metabolites like polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, antioxidants, and phenolic acids ( Zihad et al, 2021 ). The date palm also has many medicinal uses including the treatment of colds, fever, cystitis, edema, sore throat, bronchial catarrh, liver cancer, low sperm count, etc ( Ali et al, 2018 ).…”

“…AlFaris et al [58] reported that ripe date fruits are a rich source of polyphenols with potent natural antioxidants. As we added ripe SKD, the potential to be used as a nutraceutical or functional food ingredient in the production of FCM as natural antioxidant-rich dairy products is confirmed [59].…”

Camel milk and dates are well-known for their great nutritional and therapeutical benefits. Therefore, the study aimed to combine the benefits of fermented camel milk (FCM) and Sukkari date (SKD) in a naturally sweetened FCM. Six treatments of FCM using ABT-5 cultures with 0, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15% SKD were carried out. Chemical, physicochemical, rheological properties were studied, while organoleptical attributes and probiotic strains viability were monitored during cold storage (4 °C) up to 15 days. Results showed that fortification with SKD increased total solids (TS), ash, dietary fiber, and carbohydrate content compared to plain FCM. Water holding capacity (WHC) values increased with low and medium SKD levels then decreased with high SKD levels. Minerals such as K, P, Mg, Zn, Fe, and Cu were significantly increased, while Na was significantly decreased. Increased SKD levels in FCM resulted in significant increases in total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids (TF), total flavonols (TFL), and antioxidant activity (AOA). Instrumental color analysis exhibited a significant change in L*, b*, BI, and ∆E due to adding SKD in a dose-dependent manner. The viability of Streptococcus thermophiles, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum was increased by adding low and medium SKD levels, resulting in a higher number than the accepted threshold for a probiotic effect. Adding 10 and 12.5% SKD recorded the best-balanced flavor score at the beginning and after up to 15 days of storage, respectively. Conclusively, the current study revealed that fortification with SKD at 7.5–12.5% improved the nutritional quality without adverse effects on the technological, organoleptic characteristics, and probiotics viability and provided acceptable, nutritious, and healthy benefits to FCM.

“…In most Arabic countries, date palm fruit (DPF), which consists of a seed covered by a soft and sweet pericarp, is a staple food. About 5000 date variations are growing in various parts of the world that vary depending on their type and stage of maturity [ 4 , 5 ]. Khalal (unripe), Rutab (semi-ripe), and Tamar (totally ripe) are the three phases of fruit maturation that are typically consumed [ 6 ].…”

“…In response to the numerous health benefits of dates, numerous in vitro and animal studies, as well as the identification and quantification of diverse classes of phytochemicals, have been done globally in recent years [ 5 , 12 , 18 – 22 ]. Researchers discovered that date palms have inherent viral immunity against plant viruses as well as UV radiation resistance [ 23 , 24 ].…”

A novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) or severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), transmitted from person to person, has quickly emerged as the pandemic responsible for the current global health crisis. This infection has been declared a global pandemic, resulting in a concerning number of deaths as well as complications post-infection, primarily among vulnerable groups particularly older people and those with multiple comorbidities. In this article, we review the most recent research on the role of date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.) fruits (DPFs) to prevent or treat COVID-19 infection. The mechanisms underlying this preventive or therapeutic effect are also discussed in terms of bioactivity potentials in date palm, e.g., antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and hemolytic potential, as well as prospect against COVID-19 disease and the potential product development. Therefore, it can be concluded that regular consumption of DPFs may be associated with a lower risk of some chronic diseases. Indeed, DPFs have been widely used in folk medicine since ancient times to treat a variety of health conditions, demonstrating the importance of DPFs as a nutraceutical and source of functional nourishment. This comprehensive review aims to summarize the majority of the research on DPFs in terms of nutrient content and biologically active components such as phenolic compounds, with an emphasis on their roles in improving overall health as well as the potential product development to ensure consumers’ satisfaction in a current pandemic situation. In conclusion, DPFs can be given to COVID-19 patients as a safe and effective add-on medication or supplement in addition to routine treatments.
