| This study was carried out to produce date powder from Tamr El Wadi and El Sakkoti varieties at tamr stage, which is low moisture content, rich in sugars and minerals. Pretreatments and drying methods were studied on the physical, chemical, sensory, properties and quality of products. Results indicated that the best additions starch were 30% for date paste methods and the 20% for cooling methods regardless date type or drying methods. Results indicated that additions of starch to dates before drying reached moisture content to˂ 6.5% of date powders and drying time to˂8 hours.
