Glucose content of 35 Saudi Arabian date fruits (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
The present study describes the glucose content of 35 Arabian date fruit varieties, that were collected randomly from Saudi Arabian local markets in 2019. Date samples were analyzed for moisture and glucose contents. Using SP-3000nano UV–VIS Spectrophotometer (Optima, japan). In general, the moistur...

| description | The present study describes the glucose content of 35 Arabian date fruit varieties, that were collected randomly from Saudi Arabian local markets in 2019. Date samples were analyzed for moisture and glucose contents. Using SP-3000nano UV–VIS Spectrophotometer (Optima, japan). In general, the moisture contents ranged from 7.3 ± 0.11 to 29.2 ± 0.13 g/100 g fresh weight (FW), with Safawi samples being the highest. Whereas the analyzed date varieties were found to be variable in the glucose content with Rawthanat Alqasim (83.09 ± 0.46 mg/dL) was found to have the highest glucose content, followed by the Sukari Alriyad (80.42 ± 0.47 mg/dL) and Alkhanizi (51.05 ± 0.94 mg/dL) varieties while the others had relatively low glucose contents with Shuqara (24.78 ± 0.57 mg/dL) being the lowest. These information’s can help balancing a healthy diet, specifically for diabetic patients and the effect of glucose consumption in their daily life. And to highlight the different date varieties’ in Saudi arabian as one of the biggest countries in dates production around the world, and compare the differences in their weight and glucose content. |
