A comprehensive investigation of the medicinal and functional characteristics of Phoenix dactylifera L. (Date palm): A Review

Abstract

Phoenix dactylifera belongs to the family Arecaceae. Due to their great diversity of nutrients, these plants have significant nutritious and therapeutic benefits. The constituents are rich in dietary fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals, notably calcium salts, and the fatty acids lauric, linoleic, palmitic, and citric acids. Along with carbohydrates, it is an adequate place of origin essential nutrients such as vitamins and proteins are obtained. Including P. dactylifera in one's diet is comprehensive as it offers various fats, amino acids, protein molecules, and steroid substances. It contains a variety of phytochemicals, including phenolics, anthocyanins, carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols, and dietary fiber, in abundance in all of its leaves, barks, pits, fruits, and pollen. Many powerful and beneficial substances found in P. dactylifera, including, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, sterols, fatty acids, and organic acids, may be the basis for the plant's diverse spectrum of pharmacological effects. This review aimed to delineate the pharmacological prophylactic and remedial characteristics of P. dactylifera. Additionally, it emphasizes the nutritional relevance, phytochemical makeup, and potential health advantages.
