Abstract:

A collection of 62 sesame cultivars from China were analyzed for sesamin and sesamolin contents in seeds using HPLC. Results showed the sesamin and sesamolin contents of these cultivars ranged from 0.82 to 11.05 mg/g and 1.35 to 6.96 mg/g, respectively. About 60.0% of the cultivars stayed in the range from 6.0 to 9.0 mg/g in the total content of sesamin and sesamolin. On average, cultivars with white seed coat color had higher sesamin content than those samples with black color. The correlation coefficient between sesamin and sesamolin of the cultivars with different seed colors ranked as white (R = 0.44)
