Abstract:
The present study focused on preparation and quality evaluation of date seed powder. Proximate composition and physical analysis for the date seed powder were analysed. Moisture, protein, carbohydrates, fat, ash and fiber content of the date seed powder was found to be 5.75%, 5.92%, 58.62%, 7.5%, 0.96% & 21.25% respectively. True density, bulk density, porosity and water absorption capacity was found to be 0.68 g/ml, 0.45 g/ml, 33% and 108% respectively. Date seed powder has high nutritional value; thus it can be used in the preparation of innovative products.
