Sesame is a plant with great economic and social potential, being used for various purposes such as the food, pharmaceutical, medicinal industries, more recently, source of renewable energy production biofuel. One factors that most limit productivity this crop salt stress. Based on this, present work aimed to evaluate germination vigor hybrid creoles sesame seeds subjected saline The experiment...

This study shows the frequency of seeds samples contaminated by Salmonella spp. collected randomly from local markets; on 30 black pepper sample no was found while detected in 3 36 (8.3%) analyzed sesame samples; three different serotypes were identified: S. Montevideo, Stanleyville e Tilene. The efficacy gamma irradiation to inactivate Montevideo and irradiated between 1 5 kGy evaluated. is su...

This article carried out the extraction of sesame oil by using three extraction techniques: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), Soxhlet and sequential extraction. The SFE was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as solvent and ethanol as cosolvent. Tests were performed at 20 MPa, 35°C and a flow rate of 2.5 g CO2/min with a total extraction time of 210 minutes. The Soxhlet ex...

The levels of lipids, carbohydrates and enzymes concerned with their breakdown were determined in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seeds during an 8-days period of germination. Alkaline lipase and isocitrate lyase activities were at peak level when the lipid mobilization was highest. The content of total soluble carbohydrates, reducing and nonreducing sugars, increased during the initial 5-days peri...

Sesame seeds are flat and oval, with poor mobility, easily blocking a seed tube reducing seeding quality. An air-assisted seed-guiding device was designed for hill-seeding centralized seed-metering sesame. The core of the is distribution manifold that could restrict trajectory make move in same direction as airflow. Six-factor three-level orthogonal tests were carried out using CFD–DEM coupling...
