This project focuses on the design, construction, and performance testing of a mechanical oil expeller press for extracting from various raw materials including coconut, mustard seed, sesame, groundnuts. The was also subject to structural analysis using simulation software ensure its safety efficiency. Unlike chemical centrifuge processes, which rely solvents or high-speed spinning extract oil,...

The indication of origin of sesame seeds and sesame oil is one of the important factors influencing its price, as it is produced in many regions worldwide and certain provenances are especially sought after. We joined stable carbon and hydrogen isotope analysis with DNA based molecular marker analysis to study their combined potential for the discrimination of different origins of sesame seeds....

Two sesame cultivars (Sesamum indicum L.) were evaluated using various 3 different sowing dates (20 th June, 10 th and 30 th July) and four nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N ha -1 ) at the New Developmental Farm of The University of Agriculture, Peshawar, Pakistan during summer 2012. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement using f...

Sesame which is known for properties of good health consists of a plethora of nutrients viz., proteins, carbohydrates, antioxidants, lignans, tocopherols and other micronutrients. Benefits of this enigmatic crop include properties of anticancer, antioxidative, antiimmunoregulation and antihypersensitivity. Covering wide agro ecological regions of the world, different varieties of sesame seeds a...

The addition of vegetable oils to the diets of dairy goats is an alternative to supplemental feeding during the dry period and improves the lipid profile of milk and by-products. Cheeses were produced using milk from cross bred goats (Saanen×Alpina) fed diets enriched with 4% vegetable oil (faveleira, sesame or castor), the fatty acid profile of cheeses was studied. Supplementation with vegetab...

Background: Phlebitisis is the inflammation of the veins that negatively affect the patient’s health status. This study was conducted to determine the effect of external use of sesame oil in prevention of chemotherapy-induced phlebitis in children with ALL. Materials and  Methods: This double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients aged 2 to 14 years old who were admitted ...

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that sesame oil affects memory and learning. In the present work, effect of a diet containing 10% sesame oil used during pregnancy was evaluated on short-term passive avoidance learning of offspring rats by Shuttle box. Methods: Female Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 9 each group). Control group consumed regular diet during pregnancy and...

Reports relating to effect of sesame oil intake on various hematologic and metabolic parameters in humans or animals are scanty. Hence we have decided us to undertake this study, investigating the effect of this edible oil on above-mentioned parameters in adult female rats Material and Methods: Adult female Sprague Dawley rats were given oral doses of 1 ml, 2 ml and 4 ml sesame oil twice per da...

Recently, processed foods have become an important part of human eating habits. However, several processing techniques, such as dehulling and roasting, are applied to raw foods. Roasting is a thermal process that depends on temperature time improves the extraction yield oil by generating pores in oilseed cell walls. Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) annual plant belonging Pedaliaceae considered be on...

Background: Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. Given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats.Methods: Forty male albi...
