Sesame production and productivity are severely constrained by a lack of high-yielding locally adapted varieties, susceptibility to capsule shattering low seed retention, biotic abiotic stresses, modern pre- post-harvest technologies. Unimproved landraces widely cultivated in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia. The landrace varieties yielders (<0.6 tons·ha?1), but they possess intrinsic ...

Gamma tocopherol content of 7 Iranian sesame seeds (sesamum indicum L.) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography using C8 column and methanol, water and butanol as mobile phase. The gamma-tocopherol content varied from 563 to 1095 mg/kg in oil and 293 to 569 mg/kg in sesame seed and was in broad agreement with the Codex range. A large variation was found in the concentration of ...
