This experiment was conducted to develop optimum sesame cultivation practices as succeeding cropping system of watermelon in the greenhouse condition. We also compared major components in sesame seed cultivated in the greenhouse and open field condition. The adaptable varieties under the greenhouse condition were white sesame 'Pyoungan' and black sesame 'Jinki' which showed higher yield and disease resistance. We also conducted several experiments to determine optimum sowing date, planting density and pinching time. Grain yields were statistically different according to the several sowing dates. In general, sesame sowing on June 30th showed higher grain yields than July 10th, July 20th and July 30th in the greenhouse. We also found out sesame cultivation practice with the row spacing of 40 cm and interplant spacing of 30 cm (a few branch type) or 40 cm (many branch type) showed higher yield than other treatments. Optimum pinching time was 25 days after first flowering in main stem when thousand seed weight and grain yield were highest. In the comparison of major components of sesame at the different cultivation conditions, sesame seeds cultivated in the greenhouse contained 4% much more oil content than open field condition. The lignan compounds, sesamin and sesamolin were also higher by 6% in the greenhouse than open field condition. It was concluded that sesame cultivation practices as succeeding cropping system of watermelon in the greenhouse condition guaranteed higher grain yield with less labor input which is now emerging alternative farming practice system in present aging rural society and will also give sesame cultivation farmers to increase net income in Korea.

This study was carried out to analyse the nutrient composition of grape seeds and to assess as a plant oil source. Mean values of nutrient contents were as follows: moisture 10.1%, crude protein 11.7%, crude fat 29.7%, crude ash 2.53%, total sugar 4.38 ${\mu}g/mg$, and reducing sugar 3.96 ${\mu}g/mg$. Linoleic acid was the most prominent fatty acid, showing 66.15%, and followed by oleic acid > palmitic acid > stearic acid. Mean contents of neutral-, glyco-and phospholipids were 85.4%, 6.50%, and 8.06%, respectively. Mean saponification value of crude fat was 187.5, showing elevated value than that of perilla oil. Antioxidative capacity of grape seed oil was marked by 12 and 50% higher values than those of perilla or sesame oils. Regardless of storage conditions, grape seed oil showed more lowered P.O.V than perilla and sesame oils. P.O.V of grape seed oil treated at $150^{\circ}C$ showed a lower value than those of perilla and sesame oils. The stability against oxidation may be related with the antioxidant substances contained in the grape seeds.

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to develop a rapid and nondestructive method for the determination of fatty acid composition in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed oil. A total of ninety-three samples of intact seeds were scanned in the reflectance mode of a scanning monochromator, and reference values for fatty acid composition were measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Calibration equations were developed using modified partial least square regression with internal cross validation (n=63). The equations obtained had low standard errors of cross-validation and moderate $R^2$ (coefficient of determination in calibration). Prediction of an external validation set (n=30) showed significant correlation between reference values and NIRS estimated values based on the SEP (standard error of prediction), $r^2$ (coefficient of determination in prediction) and the ratio of standard deviation (SD) of reference data to SEP. The models developed in this study had relatively higher values (more than 2.0) of SD/SEP(C) for oleic and linoleic acid, having good correlation between reference and NIRS estimate. The results indicated that NIRS, a nondestructive screening method could be used to rapidly determine fatty acid composition in sesame seeds in the breeding programs for high quality sesame oil.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is an important oil seed crop of Asia. Yields can be negatively impacted by various factors, including disease, particularly those caused by fungi which create problems in both production and storage. Foliar diseases of sesame such as Alternaria leaf blight may cause significant yield losses, with reductions in plant health and seed quality. The work reported here determined the incidence of Alternaria species infecting sesame seeds grown in the Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 428 Alternaria isolates were obtained from 105 seed samples and grouped into 36 distinct taxonomic groups based on growth pattern and morphological characters. Isolation frequency and relative density of surface sterilized and non-surface sterilized seeds showed that three isolates (A13, A47 and A215) were the most common morphological groups present. These isolates were further identified using sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and the Alternaria major allergen gene (Alt a 1). Whilst ITS of rDNA did not resolve the isolates into Alternaria species, the Alt a 1 sequences exhibited > 99% homology with Alternaria alternata (KP123850.1) in GenBank accessions. The pathogenicity and virulence of these isolates of Alternaria alternata was confirmed in inoculations of sesame plants resulting in typical symptoms of leaf blight disease. This work confirms the identity of a major source of sesame leaf blight in Pakistan which will aid in formulating effective disease management strategies.

Perilla (frutescens) seed oil, which is widely used as a source of vegetable oil in Korea, contains a strikingly large amount (58.4% of total fatty acids) of polyunsaturated linolenic acid (18 : 3) which is one of the essential fatty acids. Our hypothesis was that vitamin E contained in this oil would not be enough to prevent peroxidation of this polyunsaturated oil. A comparative study was carried out using rats and chicks devided into seven groups with various diet combinations emphasizing fat sources for the period of four weeks. The level of fat in each diet was 15% and animals were fed ad libitum. Various diet combinations were as follows; perilla seed oil and sesame seed oil with and without vitamin E supplementation, tallow as a saturated fat source and perilla seed hull group (10% at the expense of carbohydrate). The fat constituents of control group were consisted of 50% vegetable oil and 50% animal fat. A few important findings are as follows: 1. Rats fed perilla seed oil lost their hair focally around the neck and suffered from a bad skin lesion at the same place. In chicks, yellow pigmentation both of feather and of skin was clearly observed only in groups fed perilla seed oil with or without vitamin E supplementation. The basis of biochemical mechanisms of this phenomena remains as an important research interest. 2. The mean value for hematocrit was significantly lower for the chicks fed perilla seed oil than for those fed control diet. This result seems to be attributable to the effect on the red cell membrane known as peroxidation-hemolysis of vitamin E deficiency. 3. The serum cholesterol level was higher for the rats fed perilla seed oil than for those fed control diet, whereas in chicks the group fed perilla seed oil showed lower value than the control group indicating that different animal species could vary in their responses to the same diet. 4. In pathological examinations, the sign of hepatic fibrosis was seen in the perilla seed hull group and it was noticeable that the level of hepatic RNA was significantly increased in the rat recovering from vitamin E deficiency. It is hoped that more detailed studies on perilla seed oil and hulls will soon be carried out in many aspects especially i) at various levels of fat in the diet, ii) in relation to dietary selenium level and iii) to find an optimum level of dietary essential fatty acids in terms of P/S ratio using various animal species. In the mean time, the public should be informed to preserve this particular oil with care to minimize fatty acid oxidation and should be discouraged from overconsuming this oil. This study was supported by UB (United Board) Research Grant (Graduate School, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea)

Changes in physicochemical properties of the defatted sesame meals at various roasting temperature and time have been studied. The roasting temperatures were $190^{\circ}C,\;210^{\circ}C,\;and\;230^{\circ}C,$ whereas roasting times were 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes, The protein content of defatted sesame meals decreased during roasting and the oil content of the meals roasted at$210^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes was 8.4%. The yields of sesame mea]s and oil, when roasted at $210^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes, were 50.1% and 46.9%, respectively. The amino acids in sesame meals gradually decreased as roasting conditions became severe. Sucrose (162.6 mg%), glucose (37.7 mg%) and fructose (18.7 mg%) were detected in the raw sesame meals. The color of roasted sesame seeds and oils extracted from them became darker as the roasting temperature and time increased and the change in lightness greatly affected the total color change. The browning pigment of the sesame meal roasted at $190^{\circ}C$ was separated into a fraction I, II and III. When roasted at $230^{\circ}C$ for longer than 10 minutes, the soluble browning pigment decreased.

Vegetable oils are a rich source of bioactive substances. Phytosterols in those have been known for many years for their properties for reducing blood cholesterol levels, as well as their other beneficial health effects. Phytosterols are triterpenes that are important structural components of plant cell membranes just as cholesterol does in animal cell membranes. The aim of this study was to provide consumers with information about phytosterol contents in vegetable oils in Korea market. The contents of major phytosterols (campesterol, stigmasterol, β-sitosterol) in 50 vegetable oils of 10 kinds (perilla oil, peanut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, pine nut oil, sesame oil, canola oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, and sunflower oil) were analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. The average contents of vegetable oils containing 5 or more samples were in the order of sesame oil (334.43 mg/100 g), perilla oil (262.16 mg/100 g), grape seed oil (183.71 mg/100 g), and olive oil (68.68 mg/100 g). Phytosterol content of sesame oil and perilla oil was high among vegetable oils.

In order to examine the effect of oil extraction methods on the characteristics of sesame oil, the unsaponifiable matters, fractionation sterol pattern and sterol compositions of the each fraction of the oil were compared in the oil extracted by the three different extraction methods, that is, pressure extraction of roasted seed (RTP), acetone extraction of roasted seed(RTE) and acetone extraction of raw seed(RWE). The amount of unsaponifiable in RWE oil was silghly higher as 31.8mg per 1mg drying oil than that in RTP oil of 26.1mg. Sesame oils from three different extraction methods were found to contain $0.26{\sim}0.32%$ free, $0.23{\sim}0.42%$ bound, and $0.49{\sim}0.64%$ total sterol. The content of free sterol in RWE oil was higher as 0.32% than that in RTE and RTP oil of 0.26%, and that of sterylglycoside in RTE oil was lower as 0.12% than that in RTP and RWE oil of 0.23%, but that of sterylester was a little difference. The unsaponifiable matter from fractionation sterol in sesame oil by three different extraction methods was fractionated into less polor compounds, 4,4-dimethyl-, 4-monomethyl-, 4-desmethylsterol fraction by thinlayer chromatography, and sterol composition of 4-desmethylsterol fraction was analyzed by gas liquid chromatography. The major sterols were campe-, stigma-, sito-, and ${\Delta}^5-avenasterol$, but, specially, unknown sterol(RRT:1.35) was found as $23.5{\sim}26.4%$ in total sterols, The content of sitosterol, ${\Delta}^5-avenasterol$, campesterol and stigmasterol were $59.9{\sim}60.3%,\;8.1{\sim}11%,\;16.1{\sim}18.4%,\;11.6{\sim}12.8%$ of the total sterol in free sterol fraction, $37.3{\sim}46.9,\;11.6{\sim}14.2,\;6.6{\sim}9.0$, and $6.1{\sim}8.0%$ of the total sterol in sterylglycoside fraction, $55.9{\sim}59.9,\;9.2{\sim}11.4,\;17.1{\sim}18.9$, and $11.8{\sim}13.7%$ of the total sterol in sterylester fraction, and $39.3{\sim}42.9,\;13.0{\sim}17.2,\;9.1{\sim}11.0$ and $7.4{\sim}11.5%$ of the total sterol in total sterol fraction. But the effect of oil extraction methods on sterol composition in sesame oil were hardly found.

The Korean origin edible oil sterol part of the rape, sesame and perilla oil can be separated from the other constituents of the non-saponifiable fraction, by the thin layer chromatography on the preparative Plates. The composition of sterols have been determined by gas liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatographic anlysis. Two sterols, ${\beta}$-sitosterol and campesterol were present in all of the oils. And brassicasterol were found in rapeseed oil in addition to the two sterols that were common to all of the oils studied. It was noted that ${\beta}$-sitosterol was the major sterol in the Korean original edible oils. The results showed that contents of sterols were campesterol 24.31%, ${\beta}$-sitosterol 58.90% ana Brassicasterol 11.54%, and $\Delta^7$-sterol 5.25% by method of triangulation and campesterol 26.16%, ${\beta}$-sitosterol 57.50%, brassicasterol 11.70% and ${\Delta}^7$-sterol 4.64% by method of Planimetry of rape seed oil. By sesame seed oil sterol compositions were campesterol 20.35%, stigmasterol 9.15%, ${\beta}$-sitosterol 43.49%, ${\Delta}^7$-sterol 11.25% and others 15.76% by method of triangulation and campesterol 16.79%, stigmasterol 8.69%, ${\beta}$-sitosterol 44.58%, ${\Delta}^7$-sterol 14.28% and others 15.56% by method of planimetry. Campesterol 12.45%, stigmasteriol 5.40%, ${\beta}$-sitosterol 72.32% and ${\Delta}^7$-Sterol 9.83% by method of triangulation-and campesterol 13.00%, stigmasterol 3.76%, ${\beta}$-sitosterol 74.57% and ${\Delta}^7$ sterols 8.67% by method of planimetry of perilla oil. Contents of totalsterol in Korean edible oils were 0.82% by rape, 0.58% by sesame and 0.45% by perilla, respectively.
