Polysaccharides are abundant macromolecules. The study extracted date seed polysaccharides (UPS) using ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvent extraction to valorize date seeds. UPS were subjected to comprehensive characterization and evaluation of their bioactivity, prebiotic properties, and their potential to modulate the gut microbiome. Characterization revealed UPS's heteropolysaccharide composition with galactose, mannose, fructose, glucose, and galacturonic acid respectively in 66.1, 13.3, 9.9, 5.4, and 5...
