摘要：Date is one of the most important products of dry and semi-dry parts of word. The components in palm kernel are important as it can be used as an animal feed .However it can be used in variety of food products such as caffeine-free beverages ,coffee substitute and also in some traditional medicines. In this project the kernel of two different types of dates(Kabkab&Shahani) were separated from date fruit and after the process of washing, drying and grinding they analyzed for identifying their chemical components. The results showed the kernels consist of an average of 10.5% moisture, 5.56% of protein, 12.59% of lipid, 62.18% of soluble fiber in acidic solutions and finally 1.35% of ash. Analysis of kernels oils by gas chromatography showed that oleic acid (40.15%) is prevailing sutured fatty acid in kernel oil and after that lauric acid (23.2%) had the most sutured fatty acids. Other fatty acids consist of Miristic acid (11.72%), Palmitic acid (11.42%), Linuleic acid (8.54%) and stearic acid (3.2%).
