N2 - This study was carried out to investigate: the morphological characterization of date seed by employing scanning electron microscope (SEM). The bomb calorimeter was used for determining the heating value. Thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA) by monitoring the mass losses of samples determined by pyrolysis the date seed powder samples in an inert condition. The date seeds of two cultivars of date palm from United Arab Emirates (UAE), Khalas and Allig with particle size ranging between 0.1 and 0.3mm were considered for this study. By means of proximity analysis the following percentage contents of date seeds powder of the two cultivars were determined, an average percentage of moisture, carbohydrate, volatile matter, protein and ash were varied from 1-2%, 20-30%, 1-5%, 20-10%, and 3-5% respectively. Based on the study finding the palm date seed with its high energy density demonstrates a promising potential as a source for energy production among other none-table organic product.
