Abstract

Amhat date (soft variety) is one of popular fruit in Egypt. The varieties in Egypt were soft, semi dry and dry, most of Egypt's production of dates is soft, amhat date variety in Egypt is consumed in rutab stage. Therefore, it was necessary to be ripened artificially to increase the shelf life and prevent its unacceptable taste. So, the chemical composition of amhat date were estimated (moisture, total soluble solids, crude protein, fats, crude fiber) . Also , its minerals content were estimated , and the nutritional values of amhat date palm ( khalal , natural rutab and artificial rutab ) were measured .The bioactive compounds  were estimated ( total phenolic compounds , simple phenols , total tannins, hydrolysable tannins and condensed tannins ) fractionated phenolic compounds and flavonoids by HPLC ( High Performance Liquid Chromatography )were used for measuring the responsible phenolic compounds of anticancer ( caffeine , p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid )  So, the bioactine compounds have important role of khalal amhat date , natural rutab and artificial rutab amhat date as antioxidant , anticancer and antimicrobial agents.
