  • How much oil does a sesame seed produce?
  • Most sesame varieties today yield 50 to 55 percent oil. Some sesame varieties are grey or brown in color and a specialized sesame, black in color, is sold in Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar. The black seed coat color is important since the color can bleed into the seed and the dehulling process will not remove the color.
  • How to harvest sesame seed?
  • Clean all harvest machinery and trucks for food crop. The color of combine is not as important as the settings. Combine settings should allow for minimum seed damage. Since sesame seed is 50 percent oil, high broken seed reduces the grade. A slow cylinder speed with loose concaves are necessary for quality harvest.
  • What type of header do I need for a sesame plant?
  • For tall (6 foot or over) sesame or lodged crops a JD #50 series all crop header is recommended. Protect seed from rain and dew in combine and trucks. Wet seed can heat up faster than most seed. Oil content (when seed are pressed for oil) and seed condition are important in the sesame industry.
