Graphical abstract comparing five almond-based beverage formulations prepared with different date ingredients: Besser Helou dates (khalal stage), Deglet Nour dates (tamr stage), almonds alone, Deglet Nour syrup, and Deglet Nour powder. The infographic presents photographs of the ingredients at the top and the resulting beverages and dried residues at the bottom. Besser Helou dates are characterised by rigid texture and high moisture content. Deglet Nour dates, with a soft texture, produce the beverage richest in phenolic compounds. Almonds, rich in fat, protein, and ash, give the highest extraction yield. Deglet Nour syrup and powder produce beverages and residues with the highest antioxidant activity, while the powder has the highest carbohydrate, protein, and ash contents among the date ingredients. The main phenolic compounds identified in each beverage and residue include quinic acid, caffeic acid, luteolin, apigenin-7-O-glucoside, quercetin, naringin, and 1,3-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid.
