Ash, moisture, furfural, lignin, C-cellulose and holo cellulose contents of various parts of date palm were determined. The ash content was different for different parts. The 1% NaOH solubility was high for spathe and low for spadix fruit stalk and fibre. Percentage of potential furfural ranged from 9.17 in the leaflets to 16.23 in the frond midrib and 16.69 in the spadix stem. C-cellulose content was high in frond midrib and spathe samples but lower in frond bases and spadix fruit stalk. The lignin content of spadix fruit stalks, spadix stem, frond midrib and four samples of spadix were low as compared with frond bases, leaflets and fibres
