Abstract:
Processes for extracting three sugars, fructose, sucrose and glucose, from dates are disclosed. Pitted dates are frozen and subdivided into particles. The particles are contacted with a heated water solution to extract the sugars from the date fibers. The sugar enriched water solution is separated from the date fibers by passing the water solution through one or more milli-screens. The sugar enriched water solution may be purified, and also may be treated to reduce the water content. The sugar solution containing the three sugars is a novel food product which can be used as a sweetener, for example, for sweetening soft drinks. Alternatively, the liquid product may be freeze-dried, vacuum oven-dried or spray-dried to produce a novel solid product containing the three sugars. The date fibers are dewatered, and admixed with ground date seeds to produce another novel food product.
