Abstract

Date is the most widely consumed fruit in the world, and it is considered as an essential part of diet in varied cultures. The main nutrients that date fruit provides are the glucose and fructose. Moreover, dates are considered as a good source of some essential minerals such as potassium and magnesium. The consumption of about 80 g of dates per day can contribute one-fourth of the recommended daily requirement of non-starch polysaccharides and potassium. Besides the nutritional values, dates contain natural bioactive components of medicinal importance and nutritive bioactive compounds mainly non-starch polysaccharides and selenium. This chapter highlights research progress related to bioactive compounds of date palm fruits’ bioactive compound forms, synthesis, analytical determination, potential functions, and health benefits.
