How Date Syrup Is Prepared
Date syrup is prepared in two methods: traditional and industrial.
.
Industrial Method
Here, the syrup is prepared by heating ripe dates in water. In other words, after the initial cooking under suitable temperature conditions, the sugar content in dates liquifies. The liquid sugar is then filtrated to become a sweet liquid with a low concentration. Later, it is concentrated in a fully automated system in a vacuum at 70-80°C, so the properties of dates are preserved.
Note that water boils at about 100°C depending on the height of the factory above sea level. In order to boil the water at a lower temperature (70-80°C), a powerful vacuum system is needed to reduce pressure and eventually the boiling point. This process prevents date sugar from breaking down, the loss of its benefits, excessive darkening, and burning as well.
After concentration to the right Brix, date syrup is ready for packaging.

Traditional Method
There are three common methods to prepare date syrup in a traditional way. They include:
.
Boiling (Hot Method):
In this method, dates are placed in open, large pots. Based on the fruits’ weight, water is added. This mixture is heated until the date essence dissolves in the water. Heating continues to reach the desired consistency.
Finally, the heat is turned off, the syrup is filtrated, and the final product enters the packaging line to fill plastic or metal containers. Whatever remains is used as livestock food.
.
Cement Pons (Cold Method)
Here, dates are added into ponds 1 to 1.5 meters above the ground specially made for syrup production. Due to gravity, fruits press against each other and produce syrup in the process. The syrup leaves the pond through a hole at the bottom for collecting. This method offers natural date syrup.
.
Wicker Mat
In Iran, in southern regions like Minab, wicker mat is used instead of cement ponds to produce this substance. The fruits are pressed against each other and the syrup leaves through the wicker holes.

Disadvantages of Traditional Methods
- As a non-automated process, health principles are difficult to control and observe.
- Production efficiency is low. Traditional syrup production and packaging are not high-quality either.
- The concentration of the final product is not high enough to prevent spinsterhood and mold.
- Regarding appearance, such date syrups are dark and undesirable.
- The taste is compromised due to the presence of unwanted minerals.
