Despite the importance of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in the world, this crop has received least research attention in Pakistan. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of tillage system under various irrigation intervals and phosphorus levels on oil contents, yield and yield attributes of Sesame. The experiment was conducted at New Developmental Farm of the Un...

The status of ongoing research to use near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure cottonseed oil content is summarized. A data set of 36 seed samples consisting of a single replication of six entries grown at two locations for 3 yr was used to generate prediction equations for oil content of cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum L.). The equations were generated with NIRS based on seed-oi...

In order to study the effect of vermicompost and nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed yield, yield components of seed and essential oil content of coriander (Coriandrum sativum), an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of Agriculture Company of Ran in Firouzkuh of Iran in 2012...

date is one of the world’s oldest food-producing plants wich has always played an important role in the economy and social life. various researchers examined chemical composition and nutritional values of edible parts of dates while limited information about chemical composition and nutritional quality of date seed is available. in this study, fatty acid composition and total tocopherol content...

The seed and seed oil from sandbox, Hura crepitans were investigated to establish their composition and utility as a base material. Powdered seeds from H. crepitans were soxhlet-extracted with petroleum ether between 40-60°C to yield a golden-yellow oil. Proximate analyses and chemical characterization of the seed oil were carried out using the standard procedures of American Oil Chemist Societ...

ferulago angulata (apiaceae), a medicinal plant of western asia, contains essential oils that areused as a food preservative. this study examined and compared the composition of leaf oil with seed oil andof the oils from two different habitats (one from nevakov and the other from shahoo). the oil yield from seedwas 5-fold that from leaves (3.2%/100g compared to 0.63%/100g). cis-ocimene was the ...

Seed oil is a momentous agronomical trait of soybean (Glycine max) targeted by domestication in breeding. Although multiple oil-related genes have been uncovered, knowledge of the regulatory mechanism of seed oil biosynthesis is currently limited. We demonstrate that the seed-preferred gene GmZF351, encoding a tandem CCCH zinc finger protein, is selected during domestication. Further analysis s...

Vidrih R., Vidakovič S., Abramovič H. (2010): Biochemical parameters and oxidative resistance to thermal treatment of refined and unrefined vegetable edible oils. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 376–384. In human nutrition fats are physiologically important food constituents but also the components most liable to oxidative degradation. The oils included in the study were refined (sunflower, extra-sunfl...
