Summary
The physical characteristics and chemical composition of 10 sesame seed cultivars, 3015, Kenana1, local white, mixed and aswad (Sudanese genotypes) and zirra2, zirra7, zirra9, hurria11 and huria49 (USA genotypes) were studied. The oil characteristics of the sesame cultivars were also investigated. Differences (P<=0.05) were observed for thousand seed weight with variability in seed size and color. Significant differences (P<=0.05) were noticed for moisture, oil, ash, crude fiber and carbohydrates. Similarity in specific rotation, refractive index and specific gravity between local and introduced cultivars was found. Significant differences (P<=0.05) in pH and viscosity were observed. Differences (P<=0.05) were observed for iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value and fatty acid composition was also noticed. This latter was essentially dominated by oleic and linoleic acids, with some similarity in their contents between mixed (local) and huria11 (introduced) cultivars.
