Abstract

Phoenix dactylifera is a useful traditional medicinal plant, mainly the fruit is used, which is the edible part of the plant (Ajwa date). It is now considered to be a valuable source of natural medicinal products against various diseases. Phytochemical investigations have shown that the fruit contains anthocyanins, phenolics, sterols, carotenoids, and flavonoids. The fruits are a rich source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and proteins. P. dactylifera is considered as a complete diet because it also contains different fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, and steroidal substances. This review highlights the phytochemical composition, nutritional significance, and potential health benefits of P. dactylifera and discusses its potential as a functional food for disease prevention, management, and treatment.

摘要

海枣是一种有用的传统药用植物，主要使用的是其果实，果实是该植物可食用的部分（阿久哇枣）。如今它被认为是对抗各种疾病的天然药用产品的宝贵来源。植物化学研究表明，该果实含有花青素、酚类、甾醇、类胡萝卜素和黄酮类化合物。这些果实富含碳水化合物、维生素和蛋白质。海枣被视为一种完整的食物，因为它还含有不同的脂肪酸、氨基酸、蛋白质和甾体物质。本综述重点介绍了海枣的植物化学成分、营养意义和潜在的健康益处，并讨论了其作为预防、管理和治疗疾病的功能性食品的潜力。
