This edited book systematically discusses the advances in biotechnology, agrotechnology, and food technology in shaping sesame production, cultivation and uses to meet the future needs.
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is the oldest oilseed crop known to humans. It has been recognized as one of the most nutritious and health-supportive crops, with several applications in food, cosmetics, and health products. A wide variety of sesame is grown throughout the world, primarily in Asia and Africa. It?s seed and seed oil is being used widely in diverse cuisines. It is also used in cosmetic and health products. Advances in biotechnology, agrotechnology, and food technology in redefining sesame production and uses are of great importance. Various new advanced technologies have been employed to develop high yielding and disease resistant sesame varieties, for better cultivation, seed production, and for utilization of seeds and seed oil in a lot of foods, cosmetic, and health products. This book provides an overview of different advanced technologies, their mechanisms, and their effect on the quality of the sesame crop and sesame seeds/oil. The book also emphasizes the assessment of advanced technology on its limitations and advantages. This book offers the latest research on techniques, applications, and challenges of producing quality sesame crop with recommendations towards sustainable agriculture.
The book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and scientists working in the field of sesame production and applications. Industry experts involved in development and management of sustainable production technologies will also find the book beneficial.
