AB  - The Deglet Nour in Djerid region is the most
popular variety of date palm. Our study aims to provide
information about physicochemical properties of dates
Deglet Nour at Tamar stage from different oases in Djerid
region. The date fruits were collected from four different
oases at different locations in South Tunisia: Traditional
Continental Oasis (TCO), Traditional Mountain Oasis
(TMO), Modern Continental Oases (MCO) and Modern
date Palm Plantation (MPP). Fruit size and weight, Total
Soluble Solids (TSS), pH, Titratable Acidity (TA),
Dietary Fiber (DF), Protein Content (MPT) and Sugars
were studied. The obtained results showed that
physicochemical properties varied significantly according
to the locations. Fruits from all oases may be considered
suitable for marketing as Deglet Nour dates from
well-known producing areas. TSS, pH, TA, MPT and
sugars were significantly important in dates from TMO
oasis.
