“…The durability of the ingredients in foodstuffs that affect their physical content, such as their texture and taste, is reflected in their water content. 4 The water content of the sesame seeds, which was below the maximum value of 10% regulated by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), showed that the sesame seeds were of good quality. 13 Table 1 shows that the water content of the phospholipid produced was higher than that of soy lecithin, based on the SNI of soy lecithin, which has a maximum of 0.9%.…”

Phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules that can be used as basic materials for drug delivery systems. Phospholipids can be obtained from natural sources such as sesame seeds. This study investigated the chemical properties of a phospholipid and the total lipids extracted from sesame seeds. The phospholipid extract, with a yield of 0.475%, was brownish-yellow. It has a crude fat content of 96% comprising of saturated fatty acids (Methyl, 14-methyl-Pentadecanoic acid) and two unsaturated fatty acids (9,12-Octadecadienoic acid and 11-Octadecenoic acid). FTIR analysis of the phospholipid revealed the presence of double bonds and a characteristic choline absorption. The antioxidant screening using the DPPH free radical scavenging method showed 34.16% and 30.98 % antioxidant activity on days 7 and 14, respectively. A peroxide number test revealed that it maintained a low peroxide value of 3.1988 mg O2/g even after 14 days in storage. The study concluded that the phospholipid extract of sesame seed has good antioxidant activity, chemical properties, and quality and could be used as a pharmaceutical excipient in drug delivery.

“…Sesame seed meal is nutritious and contain high protein level of about 55% crude protein. The moisture content, crude fiber, ash content, fat, crude proteins and carbohydrate of sesame samples ranged between 3.15% and 5.52%, 4.21-4.40%, 3.10-4.75%, 55.75-56.9%, 22.65-23.39% and 8.34-8.80%, respectively", Beshaw et al, [4]. "These results suggest that sesame seeds are important plant sources of protein composed of approximately 77% essential amino acids (lysine, isoleucine, methionine, cystine, tryptophan and phenylalanine etc.)"…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the economic effects of replacing the groundnut cake meal portion of the diet with sesame seed meal (SSM) on the performance traits, carcass analysis, and cost benefits of the feeding strategy. One hundred and twenty snails, weighing an average of 175±2.7g, were divided into four dietary regimens at random and reproduced three times. Each replication had ten snails in it, following a completely randomized design. Four diets were formulated to contain SSM at 0% (SSM1) Control, 50% (SSM2), 75% (SSM 3), 100% (SSM 4) as replacement for soybean meal fraction in the diet of growing snails. The diets were formulated to contain about 24% crude protein and energy of 2400 kcal/kgME. Data were collected on Feed intake, weight gain, shell length, thickness and width, Feed conversion ratio and cost per weight gain. The findings indicate that the different inclusion levels of SSM in the diet had a significant impact on the mean total feed intake (P<0.05). The feed intake and mean total weight gain showed similar trends. (P<0.05) was the greatest mean weight gain. The ratio of feed intake to weight gain, or feed conversion ratio (FCR), was essentially constant across all treatments. The diet with the highest level of SSM4 (100%) inclusion had the lowest cost per weight (CPW) gain (N170.61), while the control diet with 0% SSM1 inclusion had the highest CPW gain (N221.88). It is however interesting also to note that as feed intake (kg) increases, CPW (N) gain reduces. The dressing percent (DP) of the snail was significantly influenced by the dietary treatments.

“…Heavy metals enter in the human body through ingestion of food [17] , [8] ; breathing in air and drinking wastewater [3] , [29] , [39] . The heavy metals are very harmful because of their non-biodegradable nature, long biological half-lives, and their potential to accumulate in different body parts even at low concentration.…”
