Abstract

We studied the effect on three different varieties of sesame seeds (DV-9; Guesa-4 and Guesa-150 with bark and peeled, the application of a hydrothermal treatment at 55°C for 5; 10 and 15 minutes, on the reduction of antinutritional factors (saponins, phytic acid and oxalates). The most effective treatment in reducing antinutritional factors was the hydrothermal treatment without bark for 15 minutes because it reduced the content for the DV-9 variety, of saponins, phytic acid and oxalates by 22.54; 80.61 and 83.25% respectively, for the Guesa-4 variety by 12.78; 71.71 and 79.59% respectively and for the Guesa-150 variety by 10.43; 66.72 and 90.46% respectively. These results indicate that anti-nutritional factors (saponins, phytic acid and oxalates) can be reduced in sesame seed with simple and effective processes that could be used by growers without any expensive equipment.
