Indian Sesame Seeds Production And Analysis

Indian sesame seeds are one of the most popular seeds in the world and also the most nutritious. These seeds are cultivated and harvested mostly in tropic climates and weather conditions across the world and some of the countries which are top producers and exporters are India, Thailand, Mexico, and others. India is known for its rich sesame seed production and is the number 1 exporter of these seeds. To know more about the Indian sesame seeds, you can go through the following given information.

Organic sesame seeds, their oil, and their powder are used extensively in Indian recipes and dishes. In this country, sesame crop is cultivated as Kharif, summer and as a semi-rabi crop as well. These Indian sesame seeds are available in two main colors-black and white but other varieties like red sesame and yellow sesame can be found too. About 75% of the Indian sesame seeds are cultivated during the Kharif season in the subcontinent.

Some of the local names of Indian sesame seeds are til, ellu and tul. Some parts of the country in which these seeds are mainly grown include West Bengal, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The sesame crop is known to thrive well on soils which have neutral soil. For better growth performance, one must make sure that the soil is well drained and light loamy. The soil pH range should be 5.5 to 8.0. Companies like HL Agro and other major players in the sesame industry in India make sure that the soil in which the seeds are grown is not too sandy or saline.

The sesame crop can be cultivated at heights or elevations of up to 1250 m. The crop does not grow or perform well in prolonged droughts or frost conditions. Even heavy rains are not suitable for the crop to grow. Since sesame crop is a tropical crop, the crop requires hot conditions at the time of its growth for the maximum produce. For sesame cultivation, the ideal temperatures are between 25 degree Celsius and -30 degree Celsius. Both extremely low temperatures, as well as extremely high temperatures, may affect the growth of the crop.
The land on which the sesame crop is cultivated must be plowed using a tractor or a country plow. It must also be narrowed so as to bridge the soil to a fine tilth. 

Farm manure too must be added while the soil or bed is being prepared. As far as the seed rate is concerned, the sowing method and variety of seed may be decided factors. The sowing of the seeds must be done in line or in the broadcast. Companies like HL Agro are involved in the wide-scale production of the best quality Indian sesame seeds, invariably high in purity, aroma & vital nutrients.

Native & Modified Starches for food formulations

Starches from different sources, even those extracted from less common corn varieties, offer a range of functionality and present several potential advantages. Starch and derivatives have emerged as the most promising environment friendly ingredients over the years, offering varied application benefits in both food & non-food industries.

Product developers recognize that low-fat, high-fiber and low carbs are critical factors today for baked goods and snack formulations. Starches help manufacturers to address these challenges. Starch can be extracted from more than 50 types of plants and supports sauces, puddings, pie fillings and soups.

A brief description of the Corn Starch Production Process

Corn Starch Production Process The process of separating the starch from corn is one which involves several steps and procedures.  The corn starch thus obtained is from the endosperm of the kernel and is used in the production of several foods and other items.  The main aim of the corn starch production process is to release the starch from the cell structure and that too by ensuring that the germ is not damaged. When the process is over, 4 main derivatives are obtained and they are starch, fiber, germ, and gluten.  The following is a brief of the corn starch production process: 1.  Corn cleaning and steeping This is the first stage of the process and is done to free the corn of all kinds of impurities.  After cleaning, the corn is soaked in water so that it doubles in size.  Now the gluten bond weakens and the starch is thus released. 2.  Milling, germ separation and drying The second stage of the  corn starch production ...
