| Abstract |
| Three samples of the plant (khimp, date palm tree leaves, and fiber) were studied to extract the crude fiber and phytochemicals. The study employed ordinary laboratory equipment together with Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Ultra Violate –visible( UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. The results obtained showed that the fiber contents were 57.8%, 73.6 %, and 83.3 % for date palm tree leave, khimp, and date palm tree fiber respectively. 12 phytochemicals in all extracts were screened. The structure showed that the three samples contain cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin. It is concluded that the deferential extraction method is valuable for the extraction of plant fiber and phytochemicals simultaneously. |
