The Role of Date Seeds Oil in preparation Of Cosmetics and Food Nutrition

This research aimed to investigates the recycling of date seeds, which is a real practical example of the sustainable and integrated use of renewable material resources, providing innovative and sustainable solutions that can contribute to reducing environmental waste and maximizing the use of available natural resources. Highlighting the role of date seeds in supporting local industries as sustainable and safe alternative to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It illustrates the economical and medicinal value of date seeds waste as a natural source of active compounds. Date seeds oil was extracted, and it applications in cosmetics and nutrition were studied along with phytochemical screening tests, antioxidant and approximate analysis. Three types of extracts were prepared: methanol, aqueous, and oily. The aqueous extract was found to be rich in flavonoids (+4), tannins (+3), terpenoids (+3), saponins (+2) and absent of alkaloids (-). The approximate analysis showed moisture content (11.70%), ether extract (5.23%), fiber (75.3%), protein (8.7%), and ash (37.5%). The radical's percentage inhibition (PI) of DPPH was significantly obtained by dose IC50 = 1000 µl. Date seeds aqueous extract, with IC50 (80%) have values of 38.3, 78.9, 90.1, and 95.2 mg/mL, which contribute to its strong DPPH radical scavenging activity. Date seed oil was found to contain a high percentage of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant properties, which are used in many industries, such as cosmetics (skin and hair cream, soap, eyeliner, glycerin, and coarse and smooth sandpaper), nutrition, date kernel molasses and raw material for animal feeds.
