Oleang, a Thai coffee drink, contained roasted robusta coffee and several roasted grains and seeds. In this research the typical ingredients of oleang that were robusta coffee, corn, soybean, rice, sesame and brown sugar, were roasted and studied for their volatile compounds. Coffee, corn, sesame, and brown sugar were roasted at 220°C for 20 min and soybean and rice were roasted at 240°C for 20...

The objective of this study was to determine the composition and content of sesamin and desmethyl tocopherols such as alpha-tocopherol (alphaT), delta-tocopherol (deltaT) and gamma-tocopherol (gammaT) in seeds of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) for 11 genotypes conserved in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Plant Genetic Resources Conservati...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to develop a rapid and efficient method to determine lignan glucosides in intact seeds of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) germplasm accessions in Korea. A total of 93 samples (about 2 g of intact seeds) were scanned in the reflectance mode of a scanning monochromator, and the reference values for lignan glucosides contents were measured by high performance...

A thiamin-binding protein was isolated from sunflower seeds. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 230 kDa by gel filtration. The protein was suggested to be composed of six subunits, which consisted of polypeptides linked by disulfide bond(s). The protein contained a large amount of glutamine or glutamic acid (19.9 mol%) and asparagine or aspartic acid (11.1 mol%). The levels of tryptophan an...

The magic phrase “Open, sesame!” from the famous Arabian story, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, is familiar and popular worldwide, and may have originated from the sudden opening of the sesame capsule to spread seeds. Sesame seeds and their oil have been utilized as an important foodstuff for thousands of years. They are regarded as healthy food and widely used for their distinct taste and flav...

To the Editor: The incidence of food allergy is age dependent, particularly affecting children and young patients. When selfreported, it ranges between 3% and 35%. However, placebocontrolled food challenge is positive in just 1% to 4% of all suspected cases. In elderly, anaphylactic reactions tend to be less severe, and a primary manifestation at this age is unusual. A 70-year-old white man nee...

in order to achieve high quality seeds, producers must be able to estimate the accurate harvest maturity time seeds. the objective of this study was to investigate changes in seed quality during seed development and maturation in the two cultivars native of the sari and gorgan and two cultivars modified of the darab14 and yellowhite. a field experiment was conducted in during 2009 at gorgan uni...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...
