With more than 10,000 years of age it is one of the oldest trees in the world. Many nations transferred the palm trees from Saudi Arabia (used to be called Arabian Peninsula) to other places in the world after they became amused by its charming beauty and its endless generosity. The great Alexander was the first to introduce palm trees to Pakistan. And with the entrance of the Kalifa Abdualrahman Aldakel to Spain (Andalusia) the first palm tree entered Spain. This led to its availability in America; because it was introduced to Mexico for the first time by the Portuguese and then it reached the United States during the 18th century. In Religions of the Book, dates have received more attention than any other fruit. For instance, PROPHET MOHAMMED (PEACE BE UPON HIM) encouraged Muslims to break their fast at the sunset during the month of Ramadan by dates and water. He once said that if a person has some dates in his house then he is not poor. Holding a date palm branch at holy festivals is a command in Judaism. Those who welcomed Jesus Christ in Jerusalem were also holding date palm branches in their hands.

Company’s Mission
• Markets and Products: We are producing an Innovative Low Glycemic Index Sugar from Dates :
DatiSweet®. DatiSweet® is on the High Fructose Syrup market segment. The food industry estimates
that 30% of the use of sucrose to be replaced by HF Syrup (High Fructose Syrup). The “non sucrose”
market is more than 13 billion USD /year with a growth of 5% a year. From 0.7 Mt (4.3% of food sugar
consumption), European consumption of High Fructose Syrup could double or even reach 3 Mt, still
far from the technically possible 30% substitution (5 Mt).

• Opportunity: A report by Transparency Market Research finds that the global alternative sweetener
market will rise to become worth US$15.4 bn by the end of 2021 from US$11.5 bn in 2014. The
different types of products purveyed in the alternative sweetener market worldwide fructose syrup
(HFS) and high intensity sweetener (HIS) lead the market and will likely progress.

• DatiSweet® benefice: Glycemic index has been advocated as a means to gauge the compatibility of
foods with the special needs of people with diabetes or those on a diabetes diet. Fructose has a low
glycemic index and results in moderate release of insulin to the bloodstream relative to glucose and
sucrose.
1. Prevent Caries: the only proven health risk of nutritive sweeteners at typical consumption levels is dental caries. Fructose is among the least cariogenic of the nutritive sugars. Primary applications areas for crystalline fructose include dry mix beverages, low calorie products, enhanced or flavored water, still and carbonated beverages, sports and energy drinks, chocolate milk, breakfast cereals, baked goods, yogurt, fruit packs and confections.
2. Sweetness: Fructose is the sweetest of all nutritive sweeteners. The sweetness of fructose is nearly 2 times that of glucose, depending upon the food or beverage in which it is used.
3. Flavor Enhancement: its sweetness perception peaks and falls earlier than glucose and sucrose, “unmasking” fruit and spice flavors.
4. Ingredient Synergy: the interaction of fructose with other sweeteners and starches results in a synergy that boosts the sweetness, cake height (baked goods) and viscosity of foods and beverages.
5. Shelf-stability: Fructose does not hydrolyze in acidic conditions like sucrose does, so finished product sweetness and flavor are stable over extended storage times.
6. Solubility/Resistance to Crystallization: while sold in crystalline form, fructose recrystallizes with difficulty once it is solubilized in foods. This property made possible the development of soft moist cookies.
7. Humectancy: Fructose binds and retains moisture so well that it can replace sorbitol and glycerin in foods, thereby improving taste.
8. Surface Browning: a major appeal of baked and roasted foods is the pleasing brown surface color and alluring aroma, produced by a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Fructose is the most highly reactive simple sugar.
9. Frozen Applications: Fructose maintains the integrity of frozen fruit by controlling water and preventing damaging ice crystal formation that can destroy fragile fruit tissue.

The sugars contained in DatiSweet have extremely low glycemic levels, allowing to have a strong sweet taste without all the disadvantages of white sugar and the diseases that can result from it. Moderation is key. The American Heart Association recommends 100 calories or less from sugar each day for women, and 150 calories or less from sugar each day for men.
Because of its nutritional qualities, its high sweetening power, its light color and its neutral taste, it is used as a substitute for white sugar in all cold or hot preparations.
Easy to use in cake dough, it is particularly excellent for sweetening your tea, coffee, yogurts or white cheeses. In addition, you can also use it for cooking and baking.
