“…Flavonoids, glycosides, and tannins are the main antidiabetic components in medicinal plants. Moreover, previous experiments have shown that DSE contains all of the abovementioned phytoconstituents (Kalantaripour et al, 2012;Said et al, 2014). Hence, we can conclude that the anti-diabetic effects of the DSE might be due to these phytochemicals.…”

Phoenix dactylifera. L. )date palm ( is one of the main fruits in North of Africa and Middle East. The date seeds are considered as wastes despite of their medicinal properties. Different seed preparations are used as expectorant, anti-diarrheic, hypoglycemic, tonic, and aphrodisiac agents. We established the anti-diabetic and anti-lipidemic activities of methanolic extracts of date seed in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Animals were divided in to 6 groups (each group contained six animals), comprising of control group and diabetic rats. Animals were treated with different amounts of extract. To assess the hypolipidemic, and anti-hyperglycemic activity, cholesterol serum levels, low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), creatinine, urea and alkaline phosphatase were measured in serum of the treated animals. The anti-diabetic potential was investigated through the levels of glucose and body weight. Moreover, to assess the extract's safety, acute toxicity test was performed. In comparison with control group, significant reductions were observed in LDL, cholesterol, as well as blood glucose levels in diabetic rats that received date seed extract. Extract supplemented diabetic rats also showed a better tolerance to glucose, as well as reduced amounts of creatinine, urea, and alkaline phosphatase in their serum samples. In addition, no toxicity (acute toxicity), was detected even after high dosage of extract administration. Our results confirmed the anti-lipidemic and anti-diabetic potentials of date seed methanolic extract in diabetic rats. AT and Sharifi-Rad J, 2019.

“…Marzouk and Kassem (2010) (21) reported that fruit colour in dates is enhanced with the application of organic manures or supplementation with mineral NPK compared to mineral fertilization alone. Said et al (2014) (18) recorded six colours in date fruits including from yellow, orange, red, brown, black and dark in a study deals with the characterization and evaluation of the morphological quality of date palm cultivars grown in Algeria. Farmers have denominated the cultivars based on shape and colour of the fruits or the presence of specific location (9) .…”

“…Out of which 10 were agronomic (fruit and seed traits) (MP1-MP10) and 12 were leave traits (MP11-MP22) as described in Table 1. These characters have already been reported as a standard descriptor to characterize date palm (10,11,(15)(16)(17)(18) . Thirty fruits of each cultivar were harvested at rutab stages.…”

“…The morphological and biochemical characteristics of date palm fruit, such as size, color, hardness, acidity, sweetness, and moisture content, are used to assess its marketability [49]. The results found that fruit weight, size, and projected area were maintained better after three months of storage at MCSR, where the RH was remotely controlled.…”

Cold storage is deemed one of the main elements in food safety management to maintain food quality. The temperature, relative humidity (RH), and air quality in cold storage rooms (CSRs) should be carefully controlled to ensure food quality and safety during cold storage. In addition, the components of CSR are exposed to risks caused by the electric current, high temperature surrounding the compressor of the condensing unit, snow and ice accumulation on the evaporator coils, and refrigerant gas leakage. These parameters affect the stored product quality, and the real-time sending of warnings is very important for early preemptive actionability against the risks that may cause damage to the components of the cold storage rooms. The IoT-based control (IoT-BC) with multipurpose sensors in food technologies presents solutions for postharvest quality management of fruits during cold storage. Therefore, this study aimed to design and evaluate a IoT-BC system to remotely control, risk alert, and monitor the microclimate parameters, i.e., RH, temperature, CO2, C2H4, and light and some operating parameters, i.e., the temperature of the refrigeration compressor, the electrical current, and the energy consumption for a modified CSR (MCSR). In addition, the impacts of the designed IoT-BC system on date fruit quality during cold storage were investigated compared with a traditional CSR (TCSR) as a case study. The results showed that the designed IoT-BC system precisely controlled the MCSR, provided reliable data about the interior microclimate atmosphere, applied electrical current and energy consumption of the MCSR, and sent the necessary alerts in case of an emergency based on real-time data analytics. There was no significant effect of the storage time on the most important quality attributes for stored date fruit in the MCSR compared with the TCSR. As a result, the MCSR maintained high-quality attributes of date fruits during cold storage. Based on the positive impact of the designed IoT-BC system on the MCSR and stored fruit quality, this modification seems quite suitable for remotely managing cold storage facilities.
