Bioactive compounds and fatty acids in Sesame cake

Black sesame has a high-value cash crop, multiple applications in terms of health-benefitting compounds in the seed, oil, and pressed seedcake. Previous research efforts and including the warmest season sesame harvesting, opened an opportunity for the CQUniversity in collaboration with the CRC for Northern Australia and Agriventis Technologies Ltd Pty, for further investigation and potential use in future breeding programs. Although, only 525 hectares of land are annually sown in Australia, hence, there is a golden window for Australia to become a leading trader of this product, due to the lack of research in the nutritional compounds of the black sesame seed, oil and pressed seedcake, as well as contributing valuable information allowing farmers to capitalise on this international market. The contribution of this study, particularly in the sesame derivatives, may lead to the recommend guideline for the selection of ideal black sesame seed lines best suited for its expansion in the northern Australia cropping industry, by using material from earlier conducted growing trials

黑芝麻是一种高经济价值的经济作物，其种子、油脂及压榨饼粕中含有的健康有益成分具备多种应用价值。此前的相关研究工作（涵盖芝麻旺季采收相关内容）为中央昆士兰大学（CQUniversity）与澳大利亚北部合作研究中心（CRC for Northern Australia）以及Agriventis Technologies Ltd Pty开展合作，以推进后续研究并将成果应用于未来育种项目创造了契机。尽管澳大利亚每年的黑芝麻播种面积仅为525公顷，但鉴于当前针对黑芝麻种子、油脂及压榨饼粕营养成分的研究仍存在缺口，且本研究可提供宝贵信息以助力农户把握国际市场机遇，澳大利亚正迎来成为该产品领先贸易国的黄金窗口期。本研究尤其聚焦芝麻衍生品领域，其成果可依托此前种植试验获取的试验材料，为筛选最适配澳大利亚北部种植业扩张需求的优质黑芝麻品系提供推荐选型指南。
