Survey of Iranian date palm concentrate chemical characteristics

Scientific name of date palm tree is Phoenix dactlifera L. that it is belongs to palmaceae. It fruit due
to having the sugars, vitamins, acids, minerals and different compounds is high nutritional value. Dates
concentrate are the industries that are produced in Iran recently. In this study, 14 samples of Iranian date palm
concentrate from PH, Brix (ESR), acidity and sucrose were tested and analyzed by refractometery method.
Data were analyzed by Sigma state 2 software and One way ANOVA.The results showed that the range and
standard refractometry for pH 5.06 to 3.66 was measured and determined. The standard for ESR was determined
71.03 to 70.07 gram per Percent, the acidity from 60.98 to 50.18 gram per percent and for sucrose 0.78 to 0.41 was
determined, respectively. Iranian Standards Institute has not developed standard for Iranian concentrate dates
palm factors. According to this subject that date palm concentrate is new products in industries, which recently
have been produced in the country (Iran), so this standard can as Iranian standard reference for date palm
concentrate used in the country
