The antioxidant and synergistic effects of sesame oil cake extract treated with $\beta$ -glucosidase were examined. The sesamin and sesamolin were identified from the 80% ethanol extract of seame oil cake treated with $\beta$ -glucosidase, which suggested the presence of the active substances as their glycosides in sesame seed. The contents of sesamin and sesamolin in sesame oil cake extract were about 8.32% (8,315.4 mg/100g) and 0.28% (2,824.5mg/100g) , respectively. Sesame oil cake extract showed antioxidant activity at concentrations of 50ppm, 100ppm and 200ppm, and the effect was Increased with the addition of sesame oil cake extract. The antioxidant effect of sesame oil cake extract was stronger than that of $\alpha$-tocopherol or ascorbyl palmitate, but weaker than of BHT Also, when the sesame oil cake extract(50ppm) was used in combination with $\alpha$-tocopherol(50 ppm), the sesame oil cake showed very strong synergistic effect.

Grape seed oil was characterized to assess the usefulness in the food industry. Among the various oils, the initial antioxidant activity was the highest for grape seed oil. Heating the oil at $180^{\sim}C$ for 20 min retained 86% of the initial activity. Grape seed and sesame oils showed a low peroxide value, about 2, implying a less oxidative reaction. The oxidation of grape seed oil was increased to a less extent by heat-treatment than other oils. Light exposure for 1 month resulted in a slight decrease in the antioxidant activity of grape seed oil, maintaining 96% of the initial activity. Other oils were all light-susceptible and the activities decreased significantly. The peroxide values of all the oils increased by light exposure, but the extent of oxidation was still the least for grape seed oil. The addition of grape seed oil to perilla oil was very effective, in that the peroxide value was 5-times decreased by 1 : 5 composition of grape seed oil versus perilla oil. These results indicate that grape seed oil can be used as a good cooking oil or an additive for other oils.

In this study, the several chemical compositions, which include general components (moisture, fat, protein, sugar, fiber, ash, acid insoluble ash), minor components (sesamol, sesamolin, sesamin), the characteristics of oil (specific gravity, refractive index, iodine value, saponification value, unsaponificable matter, insoluble impurities), fatty acid components (analyzed by GLC), amino acid patterns (analyzed by autoanalyzer), of Korean whole white Sesamum indicum were investigated and were compared with decuticled sesame samples. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The crude fiber, total ash and acid insoluble ash contents of the decuticled sesame seed and it meal were significantly lower as compared to the whole sesame samples. 2) The specific gravity, refractive index, iodine value, unsaponificable matter and insoluble impurities contents of the whole sesame oil were greater than the decuticled samples. 3) The fatty acid contents of the whole and decuticled sesame oil were approximatly equal amounts. But unsaturated fatty acid contents of the decuticled sesame oil was significantly lower than the whole sesame oil. 4) The decuticled sasame meal was concentrated higher protein than the whole sasame meal. But amino acid contents of the protein in their was approximatly equal amounts and sesame proteins are found to be rich in methionine, cystine and tryptophan, they are deficient in lysine. 5) The sesamol, sesamolin and sesamin contents of the whole and decuticled sesame oil were approximatly equal amounts. 6) The oxalate and calcium contents of the decuticled sesame seed and its meal were also significantly lower as compared to the whole sesame samples.

In order to optimize the batch expression of sesame oil, recovery of expressed oil(REO) from roasted and unroasted sesame seeds were observed at different temperature, pressure, pressing duration and moisture content, and relatinship between REO and effects of expression factors were analysed. REO was high at 2.5~4.5% moisture content, 30~$50^{\circ}C$ and 30~50MPa, and decreased abruptly with increasing moisture content above 4.5%. The optimum temperature, pressure, pressing duration and moisture content were $40.1^{\circ}C$, 54.4MPa, 21.7min and 1.3% for unroasted seeds and $44.4^{\circ}C$, 37.8MPa, 14.4min and 2.52% for roasted seeds, respectively. REO in optimum condition was 84.6% in unroasted seed and 81.7% in roasted seed. From the statistic analysis between effects of expression factors and REO, importance of their effects was decreased in the order of moisture content, pressure, temperature and pressing duration. And also interaction effects were high in $pressure{\times}moisture$ content, $temperature{\times}moisture$ content and temperature pressure. The multiple regression equation between REO(Y) and temperature(T), pressure(P), moisture content(M), and pressing duration(D) were as follows ; $Y=18.20$ $35.66P$＋$24.52M-4.45P^{2}-1.20TM-4.02PM-6.62M^{2},\;r^{2}=0.89$, for unrosated sesame seed, $Y=117.93$＋$16.40P-58.61M-2.75P^{2}$＋$1.79TM-1.65PM$＋$7.16M^{2},\;r^{2}$$=0.91$ for roasted sesame seed.

This study was carried out to find optimum roasting condition of sesame seeds for making seed season and oil treated with different temperatures and time intervals. Sesame seeds with 17~18% of moisture content were treated under fixed and changed roasting temperature conditions. The fixed temperatures are ranged from 160 to $240^{\circ}C$ with $20^{\circ}C$ intervals. The changed temperatures were treated at low(160 and $180^{\circ}C$) and medium(200 and $220^{\circ}C$) for 10 minutes, and at high(220 and $240^{\circ}C$) for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, roasting times were 20-30 minutes longer under low temperature condition and 3-5 minutes shorter under high temperature condition. The optimum roasting temperature and time were determined as $220^{\circ}C$ and 3 minutes for producing seed season, and as $220^{\circ}C$ and 5 minutes for sesame oil, respectively, in roasting with small quantity of sesame seeds. On the other hand, in the large scale roasting condition, those showed $240^{\circ}C$ and 15 minutes in for producing seed season, and $280^{\circ}C$ and 10 minutes and $260^{\circ}C$ and 15 minute for producing seed season in white-colored sesame variety and black-colored sesame variety, respectively.

This survey was conducted to monitor the adulteration of sesame oil circulated in Gwangju, 2007. A total of 60 samples was tested by analysis of fatty acid composition. Of these samples, 22 were from large-scale manufacturer, 25 were from small-scale manufacturer and 13 from Bangagan. First of all, in goods manufactured by large-scale company, there are no sesame oils where linolenic acid($C_{18:3}$) exceed regulatory guidance(0.5%). 5 samples from small-scale manufacturer contained linolenic acid from 0.90% to 8.38%, which means that they have other cooking oil, such as com oil, soybean oil and rape seed oil. Among Bangagan goods, only one sample have 1.20% of linolenic acid. On the other hand erucic acid($C_{22:1}$) was not detected in 60 samples at all, which means that they were not adulterated with rape seed oil. And among 6 samples of exceeding 0.5% of linolenic acid and 12 samples from Bangagan, 13 of them had benzo(a)pyrene from $0.2{\mu}g/kg\;to\;0.7{\mu}g/kg$ and the other 5 samples did not.

Changes of volatile flavor compounds in sesame oil during industrial process (roasting temp. $225{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, roasting time 15 min) were investigated. Total volatile flavor compounds of 1 st expressed oil from roasted sesame seeds were 536.3 ppm, and those of 2nd expressed oil from sesame seed cake, residue of 1st expression, were 266.8 ppm. Those of 1st filtered oil, fixed oil and 2nd filtered oil were 472.2 ppm, 472.4 ppm and 443.0 ppm, respectively. Volatile flavor compounds were gradually decreased during processing. Top notes $(peak{\;}No.1{\sim}26)$ playing an important role in the aromatic character of sesame oil, of 2nd expressed oil were markedly reduced (70.67% of initial content). Especially pyrazine compounds showed the largest reduction in 2nd expressed oil. Total volatile flavor compounds of fixed oil, filtered oil were reduced slightly.

Sesame(Sesamum indicum L.) is probably the most ancient oilseed crop known in the world. The seed of sesame is used in a variety of ways as food. The whole seed may be eaten raw, either roasted or parched, or fed to birds and stock. Sesame oil is used as a salad or cooking oil, in shortening, margarine and in the manufacture of soap. Minor uses are as a fixative in the perfume industry and formerly as a carrier for fatsoluble substances in pharmaceuticals such as penicillin. One of the minor constituents of sesame oil, sesamin, is used for its synergistic effect in pyrethrin insecticides, in addition of a small quantity of this substance markedly increases the effectiveness of fly sprays. The meal remaining after oil extraction can be used as and animal feed-stuff or as manure. In general sesame meal is considered to be equal to cottonseed or soybean meal as a protein supplement for livestock and poultry. It is especially high in certain amino-acids such as methionine, which is low in soybean meal, and thus can be combined with it or similar meal to form a more balanced ration. An attempt to summarize the literature review on quality improvement of sesame was made to discuss the accomplishments of the past and perspectives in the future. The reviews on quality improvement of sesame were mainly discussed in connection with the cultural practices and genetic informations in current status. The emphasis focussed on environmental variation of quality in cultural practices, such as harvest time, variety by location, climatic condition, fertilizer application, and growth regulator treatment. On the genetic variation of quality, it was discussed on variety background, mutation breeding, correlations, and inheritance of quality related characteristics. It also was discussed on relationship between quality and plant traits, storage condition or period, and seed coat color. Moreover, current research status were reviewed on some minor elements such as sesamin, oxalic acid, and trypsin inhibitor. As a results of the review, the lack of an effort to quality improvement in each utilization area was indicated as a problem area. More active efforts for the improvement of quality were also insufficient to incorporate the available genes for quality in breeding method or collection and analysis of breeding materials. Therefore, researches in the future would be recommended to emphasize on these problem areas.

Macrophomina phaseolina causing charcoal rot was isolated from sesame seeds (cvs. Giza 32 and Shandawel-3) collected from different localities of Assiut, Sohage and El-Minia Governorates. The fungus was found in the highest frequently in samples collected from Assiut Governorate followed by Sohag and finally EL Minia Governorate. The obtained isolates were different in their virulence on the tested sesame cvs. Also, they differed in their growth nature including colony color and sclerotial production. The color of colonies of the pathogen seem to be correlated with density of sclerotial formation. Aqueous extracts of Majorna, Wild chamomile, Geranium oil and Nees plants were highly toxic to tested isolates of M. phaseolina, in vitro. On the other hand the rest of the tested aqueous extracts had no effect. Under greenhouse conditions in 2005 and 2006 seasons, soaking seeds of sesame before sowing in aqueous extracts of Eucalyptus, Nerium, Ocimum and Roesmary plants decreased the disease incidence. Aqueous extracts of Eucalyptus and Ocimum were the most effective treatment. Dipping sesame seeds in hot water at $60^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes increased seed germination of Giza 32 and Shandawel-3 cvs. followed by $55^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$, while $40^{\circ}C$ treatment resulted the lowest seed germination rate. Dipping sesame seeds in hot water at different temperature before planting decreased seed, seedling and charcoal rots. Soaking seeds in hot water at $60^{\circ}C$ increased greatly plant height and decreased seed, seedling rot and charcoal rot followed by $55^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, under greenhouse condition.
