| Abstract | ||
| Egypt is one of the important countries in date production. Man-ufacturing and package processes accumulate high quantities of date seeds_ So, the chemical constituent of date seeds, germinated date seeds and the methods of removing steroid contents were studied. The germination was done on different lengths of radical till appearance of plumule, and to remove the steroids compounds, the date seeds were treated by hexane and diethyl ether (ether). The results revealed that steroids content of date seeds was decreased by germination (at the end of seeds germination) and also atter treating by hexane. Progesterone hormone was disappeared by germination till length of radical reaches 8 centimeter and in the ungerminated seeds after treating by water. Osteriol hormone was decreased gradually by germination to 0.028 mg/I00g, disappeared in the ungerminated seeds, decreased to 0.083 mg/100g of hexane treated seeds and decreased to 0.044 mg/ 100 g of ether treated seeds_ | ||
