Abstract
The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of mankind's oldest cultivated plants. A date palm fruit is an important component of the diet in most of the hot arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The Present study aimed at investigating two heavy metals (lead, Pb) and (cadmium, Cd) as mg/kg in three date palm cultivars cultivated in Sudan (Gondalia, Barakawi and Kulma). The results showed insignificant (p ≥ 0.05) concentration of the two heavy metals (cadmium and lead) between the various cultivars in the four local market (sites) (Libya, Bahri, Soug Sitta and workshop). Cadmium concentration was ranged from (0.006-0.043mg/kg) and lead (0.02-0.029mg/kg) for all cultivars at the four locations. Although most of the cultivars had comparable concentration of cadmium, workshop showed the highest (0.043mg/kg) cadmium. Soug Sitta showed the highest levels of lead (0.029mg/kg) among the other four locations. Results revealed that that cadmium concentrations of the study at low concentrations if compared with limit of Codex Alimentarius Commission (2011) inverse to lead concentration. Finally, new ways of exhibition and packaging of date should introduce for safety and protection from any contaminant and heavy metals, which was set as a recommendation.
