Seed morphometric parameters (seed area, length, diameter, circumference, roundness and aspect ratio) of 15 accessions were analysed. Measurements on seeds were taken with help of a Computer-Camera system. Variation among accessions and genetic relationships were estimated. Great variability was observed for all parameters studied. High positive or negative correlation (r=0.726-0.963) was showed by Pearson's correlation analysis for the seed metric data of the 15 accessions. The cluster analysis revealed that the 15 accessions could be grouped into three to five clusters according to the methods (Single or Complete Linkage) used. The principal components analysis showed that the first two components accounted for 99.3% of the variability. Morphometric characterization of seeds is rapid, reproducible, reliable and cost effective. This technique of digital imaging is strongly recommended for researchers from developing country like Benin, because of its efficiency.

“…True density of the sesame seed varieties had ranged from 1190.66 to 1215.62 kg·m −3 . The result of current study is lower than 1224 kg·m −3 for Nigerian sesame seed reported by [40]. Information on the true sesame density is used to design sesame seed separation or cleaning processes.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of three sesame varieties: Adi, Bawnji and T-85. Sesame varieties showed significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences on some physical properties, proximate, mineral, anti-nutritional (phytic acid) and antioxidant compositions. The average values of 1000 seed weight were ranged from (2.74 -3.16 g) and true density from (1190.66 to 1215.58 kg m −3 ). The moisture (wb), crude protein, ash, fat, fiber, total carbohydrate, Ca, Zn and Fe (db) were ranged: 3.17% -3.96%, 22.58% -24.27%, 4.46% -6.19%, 50.88% -52.67%, 5.60% -6.26%, 8.3% -11.69%, 1172.08 -1225.71 mg/100g, 4.23 -4.45 mg/100g and 10.2 -10.75 mg/100g, respectively. Phytic acid contents were ranged from 307.61 to 324.91 mg/100g, total phenolics from (23.16 -25.69 mg GAE/g) and ferric ion reducing power value from (32.33 -34.53 µmol/g) (db). The results were compared with some other sesame varieties grown worldwide. Results showed that Ethiopian sesame varieties were good source in nutrients and were functional foods for human nutrition and utilization.

“…The longitudinal dimension (length) of the seed was higher than the width and thickness. The dimensions of wood apple seeds were higher than sesame seed 28 , coriander seeds 29 , Tef seed (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) 30 , chia seeds 31 and mustard seeds (Sinapis alba L.) 32 but lower than pumpkin seeds 33 , African yam beans 34 , sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) 35,36 , rice seed (Oriza sativa) 37 and chickpea seeds 38 .…”
