Home / Natural White Sesame Seed
Sesame seeds may be the oldest condiment known to man, dating back to as early as 1600 BC. They are highly valued for their oil, which is exceptionally resistant to rancidity. The scientific name for sesame seeds is Sesamum indicum.
The seeds are exceptionally rich in iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, calcium (90 mg per tablespoon for unhulled seed, 10 mg for hulled), and contain vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin E. They contain lignin, including unique content of sesamine, which are phytoestrogens with antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. Sesame seeds also contain phytosterols associated with reduced levels of blood cholesterol.
Before processing, first, engage in cleaning the seeds. Pure water is used for cleaning, and use winnowing basket is used for dusting and dirt removal. The other processing procedures are cleaning, hulling, drying, sorting, and packing in ascending order.
PACKING: For packing Sesame Seed and related products, HDPE/ Poly packs and multiwall paper bags, Jute bags are used.
CLEANING: After harvesting, the sesame seeds are cleaned and hulled. The first stage of the hulling process is cleaning. The sesame seeds pass through an air separation stage to remove any foreign particles. |
HULLING: In the Hulling process, a combination of water and friction work together as the seeds are passed against the Chamber of the hulling machine to separate the hull from the seeds. |
DRYING: Drying is one of the most important stages in processing to ensure high quality. Further, there is the chance of forming poisonous bacteria on some spices, which is a real danger if proper washing and drying are not done. For drying, we use auto dryers. |
SORTEXING: Aspiration, Destoner, and Gravity machines, with the help of which the seeds are graded by size, density, colour, and flavor. |
