"Date Seeds as a Nutrient-Rich Source: Analysis of Macro and Micronutrient Content"

Abstract Date seeds, often discarded as agricultural waste, possess significant untapped nutritional value. This study aims to thoroughly examine their macro- and micronutrient composition to evaluate their potential as a nutrient-rich food source. The analysis reveals high levels of key macronutrients, including carbohydrates (74.27 ± 2.25 gm), protein (7.81 ± 1.5 gm), fat (8.19 ± 0.8 gm), and crude fat (8.01 ± 0.85 gm), along with essential micronutrients such as vitamin C (19.16 ± 1.75 mg), insoluble dietary fiber (7.59 ± NA mg), total sugar (2.3%), moisture content (6.83 ± 0.6%), pH, viscosity, water absorption capacity, and various minerals. Among the minerals, date seeds contain sodium (0.79 ± 0.22 mg), zinc (0.33 ± 0.02 mg), phosphorus (82.00 ± 2.25 mg), copper (0.10 ± 0.02 mg), manganese (8.5 ± 0.03 mg), lead (0.172 ± 0.01 mg), and chromium (0.00135 ± 0.03 mg). Additionally, the seeds are rich in important micronutrients such as potassium (11.32 ± 1.2 mg), magnesium (54.02 ± 0.04 mg), calcium (6.38 ± 1.24 mg), and iron (0.88 ± 0.02 mg), as well as vitamins like vitamin B and antioxidants. The study also highlights the high fiber content, which can contribute to better digestive health. The presence of bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties underscores the potential therapeutic benefits of date seeds in preventing chronic diseases. These findings position date seeds as a valuable, sustainable resource for dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods, offering an innovative approach to improving global nutrition while reducing food waste.
