  • Which is better sunflower seed or sesame?
  • Sunflower seed is higher in Vitamin E , Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Selenium, Folate, and Vitamin B3, however Sesame is richer in Copper, Iron, Calcium, and Zinc. Daily need coverage for Copper from Sesame is 254% higher. Sunflower seed contains 141 times more Vitamin E than Sesame.
  • Does sunflower seed have more vitamin E than Sesame?
  • Sunflower seed contains 141 times more Vitamin E than Sesame. While Sunflower seed contains 35.17mg of Vitamin E , Sesame contains only 0.25mg. Seeds, sunflower seed kernels, dried and Seeds, sesame seeds, whole, dried are the varieties used in this article.
  • What are seed oils made from?
  • Seed oils are made from the seeds/kernels of specific vegetables, fruits, or plants. These are widely used in cooking, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and chemicals. Some of the commonly-used seed oils include: Sunflower oil is pressed from the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus).
  • Is Sesame a viable crop for global agricultural expansion?
  • The high oil content (50%) and favorable mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acid balance, as well as resilience to water stress, make sesame a promising candidate crop for global agricultural expansion. However, sesame production faces challenges such as low yields, poor response to agricultural inputs, and losses due to capsule dehiscence.
  • Which country produces the most sesame seed?
  • Sudan is the largest producer of sesame seed in the world followed by Myanmar and india [3, 4]. Sesame is a self-pollinated, semi-erect plant that grows to a height of 0.6 to 1.2 m. Its ovate or lanceolate leaves vary, with basal leaves being tri-lobed and upper leaves irregular and serrated.
  • Can lignans improve the quality and yield of sesame oil?
  • These findings provide a molecular platform for improving the quality and yield of sesame oil, potentially benefiting breeding programs aimed at developing sesame cultivars with higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids. Major lignans in sesame seeds include sesamin and sesamolin, with higher concentrations found in white-seeded cultivars .
