Abstract

Sesame is considered to be the oldest of oilseed crops having chemical composition of 42-63% oil, 22-25% protein, 13.5% carbohydrate and 5% ash. The fatty acid content of sesame oil contains oleic acid (43%), linoleic acid (35%), palmitic acid (11%) and stearic acid (7%) contributing towards 96% of total fatty acid. The present investigation was carried out to study the total fatty acids composition in 200 sesame accessions. Results revealed that certain amount of variation has been observed among the accessions for oil content and fatty acid composition in the accessions.
