Abstract
Our previous study found potential health-promoting effects in Ajwa dates flesh due to the presence of phytochemicals. In this study, metabolomics study on the consumption of Ajwa dates flesh has been conducted on human urine samples using proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR) coupled with Principal Components Analysis (PCA). The identified chemical shifts in 1H-NMR spectra were compared with the reference spectra in the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB). The results showed the significant decrease of alanine, hippurate and citrate in urine samples within 24 hours after intake of Ajwa dates. These metabolites are known as the biomarkers of depressive disorder for human.
