The study evaluated the total phenolic content in ripe date fruits, finding them to possess high antioxidant activity due to their rich content of phenolic compounds. A total of 22 relevant studies were included in the review, which indicated that the antioxidant properties of ripe date fruits are mainly attributed to their potent total phenolic content.
Ripe date fruits contain phenolic compounds which possess a high antioxidant activity. The current review was carried out to evaluate total phenolic content in ripe date fruits. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was followed during the review process. Relevant studies published from inception up to March 2019 were retrieved from three databases. Study selection was performed based on specific inclusion criteria. A total of twenty-two articles were selected and included in the present review. Data collected from these studies were organized, pooled, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Total phenolic content means and medians have been reported for the collected ripe date fruit samples for each included study and pooled data. The results suggested that ripe date fruits contain a potent total phenolic content that can contribute mainly to their antioxidant properties. (c) 2021 The Author(s).
