Abstract:Background and aims: The present work deals with the valorization of the date kernel oil of Mech-Degla variety by assessment of its physicochemical and antioxidant properties as well as its use in the formulation of margarine. Methods: Kernels’ oil was extracted using Soxhlet method and its total phenolic (TP), flavonoid and carotenoid contents and DPPH• scavenging activity were estimated using colorimetric assays. After that, this oil was incorporated into margarine. The determined physicochemical parameters … Show more
