Date fruits supply macronutrients and micronutrients, particularly carbohydrates, amino acids, and minerals. However, the fruits of different date palm cultivars have different nutritional profiles. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different pasteurization methods on the antioxidant capacities, polyphenol profiles, and physical properties of the juice of date fruits from two date palm cultivars. The total phenolic and total flavonoid compound contents were higher after thermal pasteurization than after high-pressure processing (HPP) or for the fresh juice. The antioxidant capacity was higher for Khunaizi date palm juice than Barhi date palm juice. SDS-PAGE was performed on the date palm juice samples, and it was found that the juice subjected to HPP retained protein bands but that thermal pasteurization caused the protein bands to disappear. HPP allowed the colour and protein content of the juice to be retained but thermal pasteurization increased the antioxidant capacity and polyphenol content.
