The current study evaluates the effect of both aqueous and alkaline extraction methods on physicochemical, structural, functional, antioxidant properties dietary fibers (DF) from male date palm flowers (MDPF). DF extracted by alkali treatment (ADF) display a higher content as well lower protein lipid than resulting watery (WDF). scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction show that contributes to slight modification structural characteristics ADF...

The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional properties male date palm flower (MDPF) via determining its mineral, amino acid and bioactive compounds profiles investigate antioxidant antibacterial activities in order prove possible use as a healthy potential natural source human dietary diets. Results showed that MDPF is an excellent minerals especially regarding high potassium phosphorus contents (2684.23 318.66 mg/100 g, respectively). Moreover, acids profile considerable amounts...

Cold-pressed moringa, milk thistle, and jujube seed oils were investigated in terms of their characteristic profiles, thermal properties, oxidative stability. The findings proved that the extracted characterized by high nutritional values, which encourages use various fields. Results showed significant differences between obtained oils. Overall, oil exhibited best quality parameters, with acidity equal to 0.762 versus 1% for moringa thistle Milk absorbance UV-C (100–290 nm), UV-B (290–320...

This study aims to elucidate the effect of male date palm flower (MDPF) incorporation in dough properties and biscuit characteristics. Farinograph analysis demonstrated a progressive increase water absorption (56.85%–61%) stability (1.88–20.25 min) with increasing MDPF quantity due its wealth dietary fiber. Biscuit formulations were prepared using 3, 6, 9% powder evaluated for their physico-chemical, textural, sensory properties. The results have shown significant (p < .05) fiber...

This study aims to investigate the effect of application an ultrasound pretreatment on physicochemical, surface, thermal, and functional properties two extracts from male date palm flowers. The obtained were compared based their structural properties. It was proved that sonication has modified significantly (p < .05) extract's characteristics. protein yield, essential amino acid content solubility improved (29.61%, 29.22 g/100 g protein, 91.1% for native sample against 35.26%, 41.04 100%...

Abstract In view of the nutritional disadvantages partial hydrogenation (production unhealthy trans fats) interesterification (IE) has emerged to produce suitable fats for trans‐free formulations that have improved physicochemical properties. this context, both chemical (CIE) and enzymatic (EIE) techniques can be used. However, it been found CIE technology may process‐related by‐products known as dialkyl‐ketones (DAK). The current study aims at investigating formation DAK during IE....
