Abstract
The Cl content in the dry matter in the pinnae of the Deglet Noor var. is usually lower than in comparable samples in other date vars. Variations occur in the % of Cl found in the pulp of Deglet Noor fruits collected in various gardens. When collected in the same garden, the dry matter of the pulp of the Deglet Noor var. generally contains a smaller % of Cl than is found in comparable portions of fruits of other vars. Although the Cl content in the dry matter of date pulp may appear to be small, it is about 10 times that found in citrus fruits in orchards in high Cl areas.
