Abstract/Description: | Sesame or gingelly (Sesame indicum) commonly known as til (Hindi), tal (Gujarati), tili (Punjabi), nuvvulu (Telugu), ellu (Tamil), and ragi (Oriya) in different parts of India, is an ancient oilseed crop. India, China, Sudan, Mexico, Turkey, Burma and Pakistan are the important sesame producing countries. India ranks first, both in the area and production of sesame in the world. The annual area put under it in India is about 2-5 mha (45 % of the world hectarage) and the total production is nearly 52 thousand tonnes. Sesame is grown mostly in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Orissa and Karnataka under sesame. The sesame seed is a rich source of edible oil. Its oil content generally varies from 46 to 52%. Its grains may be eaten fried, mixed with sugar or in the form of sweetmeats. Sesame oil is used as a cookingoil in southern India. It is also used for anointing the body, for manufacturing perfumed oils and for medicinal purposes. Sesame- cake is a rich source of protein, carbohydrates and mineral nutrients, such as calcium and phosphorus. The cake is edible and is eaten avidly by working classes. It is also a valuable and nutritious feed for milch cattle. Sesame is grown in India in Kharif, semi-arid, rabi and summer season or more than one season in some states, as in case of kharif and rabi in parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Gujarat, and Orissa, summer crop after late paddy or potato in Orissa and in all the seasons in parts of Southern India. Normally the crop is grown in plains but it also comes up successfully upto 1200m above mean sea level. The crop has not only earned foreign exchange through export but also augmented the oil production in the country. More varieties of sesame are available with oil content of more than 50%. White bold seeds are exportable for using in confectionary and oil extraction. It is mandatory to use sesame oil in Vanaspathi manufacturing because of its quality. To augment production, development of production technologies for newer areas is also needed. |
