The  genetic diversity of 50 sesame genotypes was studied by Mahalanobis D2 statistics. By using Tocher’s method, were grouped into nine clusters based on 10 economically important traits viz., days to flowering, 50% maturity, plant height, the number primary branches, secondary capsules per plant, seeds capsules, thousand seed weight and single yield. largest intercluster distance among f...

Material and Methods Specific IgE for 20 common foods in 432 Romanian adults were evaluatted by MAST in sera. The patients were submited to our allergy department for urticaria (278 pts) and respiratory allergy (rhinits and/or asthma) (154 pts). We evaluated the presence of specific IgE to 20 foods. The foods evaluated were: hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cow’s milk protein (casein and l...

During 1997- 99 one seed samples of each 17 sesame cultivars (totally 17 samples) were collected from 10 localities in Iran. Blotter method and culture media (PDA, PMA, WA, CA, SNA, CLA, CYA, KCLA, WALM, MEA) were used to isolate and identity the mycoflora present on different parts of seeds. Totally, 145 isolates were obtained which included 34 species of 15 genera. The identified fungi were: ...

We report a case of a 79 year old man with a known benign anastomotic stricture presenting with large bowel obstruction. At laparotomy the obstruction was found to be caused by a large sesame seed bezoar. Seed bezoars are well known to cause impaction in the rectum but have never been previously reported to cause large bowel obstruction. We recommend that patients with known large bowel strictu...

In this study, the protein and oleosomes of sesame seeds were extracted individually used to prepare a gel composed gelatin, protein, oleosomes. Mixtures gelatin prepared, with different percentages (0, 10, 20 30% their weight) used. Different amounts in composite samples examined for morphological, rheological, textural properties. The results viscoelastic properties indicated that higher perc...
