  • Is Sesamum indicum a bioactive plant?
  • The results of preliminary qualitative phytochemical analysis of extracts of Sesamum indicum L. revealed the presence of different bioactive constituents, including alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, phenols, anthraquinones, and carbohydrates in Table 1. The physiochemical properties of Sesamum indicum L. seed oil were shown in Table 2.
  • How was oil extracted from seed of Sesamum indicum?
  • The oil was extracted from seed of Sesamum indicum L. by solvent extraction method using Soxhlet apparatus with suitable solvents as Petroleum ether (40- 60°C), ethanol, benzene and n-hexane.
  • What is the acid value of Sesamum indicum seed oil?
  • Acid value 0.98 mg NaOH/g of oil gives indication of its freshness and edibility. The low values of acid and free fatty of Sesamum indicum seed oil also suggested that the oil would have long shelf life. The specific gravity and pH value of the oil as obtained fell in the reference range.
  • What are the physicochemical characteristics of sesame seed oil?
  • Physicochemical characteristics of sesame seed oil. As well known for other plant seeds, content levels of oils are varietal, agro-ecological and pedological dependent. Levels of lipids (organic oils) in sesame range from 35 to 62% (w/w, dry matter basis) (7, 14, 15).
  • How to extract seeds from Sesamum indicum?
  • The unripe fruits of Sesamum indicum L. were dried under shade and then seed were collected and followed by crushing and separation into the particle size with an average of 24 and 28 mesh and stored in an airtight container for further use. The dried powder of seed was extracted with various solvents.
  • What is sesanum indicum L (sesame)?
  • Sesanum indicum L. (sesame) is an oleaginous plant grown in China, India, Sudan, Japan, Mexico and many countries in West and Central Africa, and Central America. The increased interest for sesame nutritional value has led to a sharp increase in its consumption and use in confectionery.
