Abstract
SummaryDamage to sesame seed by mechanical threshing equipment resulted in loss of seed viability immediately. FFA content of oil in damaged seed increased gradually after harvest. High correlation coefficients were obtained between viability immediately following harvest and free fatty acid content of oil in sesame seed at various dates after harvest. The results of the analyses of the data indicate that viability of the seed at harvest may be of value in estimating the free fatty acid content of oil for various storage periods.
