Date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seed oil is an agro-industrial waste with biopreservative effects and antimicrobial activity.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections are a leading health threat globally. Previous literature has underscored the farm-to-fork continuum as a potential focal point for the emergence and spread of AMR. In the present study, date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seed oil was investigated for its chemical composition and antimicrobial activity against common foodborne pathogens including Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro, and in ultra-high-temperature (UHT) milk as a food model at storage temperatures of 37 °C (24 h) and 10 °C (7 days). GC-MS analysis of the seed oil revealed 20 compounds, with octadecane (52.2-55.4%) as the major constituent, and the fatty acid analysis revealed 17 fatty acids, wi
