Abstract
This study was conducted during the period June 2007-March 2008, on a number of Yemeni date types, collected from three different Yemeni regions: Coast of Hadhramout (Al-Goleizmiya and Socotry), Tihoma plain (Tha'al, Shabaha and Dhakhar), and Hadhramout Valley) (Saree'a, Hashedy, Hamra and Azar). The aim of this paper is to study the extent of suitability of date types, under investigation, for producing date honey (Dabis) by mild heating on fire through the physiochemical description of the extracted date honey (Dabis). It is found that Hamra type was the best of all the types in most of its physiochemical description ranking as no. 1, followed by Goleizmiya as no. 2 and Saree'a as no. 3, (Tha'al, Shabaha and Hashedy) as no. 4, and Azar as no. 5; whereas Dhakhar which was found not suitable for producing date honey (Dabis) by this way as no. 6.
