Application
Description This project explores the active compounds in date palm seeds, such as xanthones, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which possess antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds are being studied for their potential use in natural medicines and alternative treatments, especially in the medical and dental fields. Research shows that these compounds are non-toxic at certain doses, making them suitable for use in oral healthcare. Further studies are needed to evaluate their safety and efficacy in clinical applications.
Pathway Description: The project involves mechanical extraction of bioactive compounds from date palm seeds, including xanthones, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, known for their medicinal properties. These compounds are analyzed for antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects, especially in dental applications. Toxicity tests are conducted to ensure their safety for oral use. The goal is to explore natural alternatives for oral health care and other medical treatments.
