Abstract:

The study clarifies the use of complete date-fruit (Phoenix dactylifera L.) in food products to overcome the date-fruit wastage and for the purpose we used Date-fruit to develop a date syrup in a rose water infused with medicinal herbs (Santalum album), (Nymphaea alba), (Syzygium aromaticum), date syrup brix was 65° while pH ranges approx (4.5-5.5) and reducing sugars approx (59%) date syrup stood up to 3 months without preservative made in rose water. The residue pulp after syrup extraction was dried in a cabinet dryer for 4 hours on high temperature due to excessive moisture levels, later the dried powder was used in a confectionery items and baking purpose. The cupcakes made with the date powder replacing the plain flour and sugar. The date powder further used to make date-flakes with milk and eggs and baked in oven for 15 minutes at (177-180°). The pit portion of date-fruit was also used to make a coffee substitute, pits were fermented for 24-48 hours and then pits were roasted on a medium flame for about 25 minutes with continuous stirring after that the dates were converted into a fine powder, the freshly roasted and ground pits had a strong essence and a flavor we made two samples in milk with full portion of roasted pits and other one with half and half ratio (50% roasted date pit + 50% coffee) both the samples were good enough but the plain roasted pits had no artificial color and essence thus we had to use it in excessive quantity to get the best results.
