  • Can Sesame be produced in Uganda?
  • Sesame ( Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the most ancient oilseed crops cultivated for its edible oil and uses in food. Sesame seeds are very nutritious and confer health benefits. However, its potential production in Uganda has not been fully realized.
  • How can agronomic practices improve sesame production in Uganda?
  • These could boost sesame production in Uganda given the high domestic and global demand for sesame seeds and provide an opportunity to expand sesame production throughout Uganda. Research should focus on how to increase seed yield on farmers’ fields and bridge the yield gap between researchers and farmers while adopting good agronomic practices.
  • How to extract sesame oil from seeds?
  • Extraction of crude sesame oil by the use of a soxhlet extractor with n –hexane solvent was reported by Mohammed and Hamza( 2008 ). Extraction of sesame oil from sesame seeds using supercritical CO2 was carried out by Doker et al., ( 2010) Among the commonly used occlusive moisturizers include sesame seed oil (Tabor and Blair, 2009).
  • Can sesame seed oil be used in cosmetic production?
  • The relative abundance of sesame seed oil coupled with the little knowledge of its cosmetic usage prompted the need for this review. The aim is to discuss the various extraction methods of the sesame seed oil and its industrial applications particularly its application in cosmetic production.
  • How do you extract sesame seed paste?
  • Extraction efficiencies of sesame seed paste at 12.7% moisture heated to 50°C and unheated before pressing (NRI, 1995). Work in Tanzania has indicated that sesame is suited to processing in the ram press. Pre-grinding is not required but pre-heating the seed by warming in the sun, preferably on metal roofing sheets, is strongly recommended.
  • Which countries export sesame seeds?
  • Sudan, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Tanzania were among the ten top exporters of sesame from the statistical data (Chemonics International Inc., 2002). Global exports of sesame seed are estimated to have reached 657,000 tonnes in 2000, having risen from 427,000 tonnes in 1988. The 2000 exports were valued at $478mn.
