COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON BIOCHEMICAL COMPONENTS IN SESAME (Sesamum indicum L.) VARIETIES CULTIVATED IN SUMMER AND KHARIF SEASONS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 58
Abstract
Sesame is one of the oldest and important oil seed crop in the world. The information in comparison to climatic conditions affecting seed biochemical components of sesame was lacking. The present investigation was carried out to compare the biochemical components in three sesame varieties cultivated during kharif and summer seasons. Biochemical constituents viz., oil, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, ash, oxalic acid and free fatty acid in sesame varieties were analysed. Oil content in white, black and brown sesame seed in kharif season is 47.85, 45.23 and 45.21% whereas in summer it is 49.63,48.52 and 47.23 having difference of 1.78,3.29 and 2.02%. Result obtained showed that crude protein ranges from 18.52-24.36%, fiber 3.01-3.29%, ash 3.45-3.85%, carbohydrate 14.43-18.52%. All the values obtained are within the range as reported but highest values were find in summer season seed of different colour. The calcium concentration were 1052 μgg-1, 1026 μgg-1 and 958 μgg-1 in white, black and brown seed of kharif season whereas it is highest the free fatty acid and oxalic acid were highest in kharif season seed i.e., 1.32,1.43 and 1.58% in summer season i.e., 1167 μgg-1, 1036 μgg-1 and 998 μgg-1 in white black and brown seeded varieties.
