The present study was designed to evaluate oil extraction from locally cultivated sesame seeds using three extraction methods: soxhlet, cold extraction and batch hydraulic pressing. The soxhlet method was the most effective one. The highest performance value was obtained using n-hx as a solvent in the soxhlet at 60°C/ 6 h. The percentages of oil from unroasted dehulled sesame seeds was significantly higher than those extracted from roasted and unroasted undehulled sesame seeds. Lignans were isolated from roasted and unroasted sesame seeds oil, and the lignans purity was confirmed by analysis. The antioxidant activities of lignans were evaluated by DPPH and

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary inclusion of raw sesame seeds (RSS) on performance, serum biochemistry, carcass characteristics and digestive physiology of broiler chickens between hatch and 35 days of age. Three inclusion levels (0, 5 or 10 g/kg) of RSS were included in the starter, grower and finisher diets on either wheat- or maize-based diets. At first 10 days, birds tended (P < 0.06) to eat more with increasing concentrations of RSS. At day 35, there was an interaction (P < 0.05) between the level of RSS and the grain, depressing the serum cholesterol in birds that received RSS at the medium concentration in wheat-bas

The aim of this study is to measure the levels of heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chrome (Cr), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) in apple fruits with some selected rootstock from the Mitrovica region, Kosovo. The concentrations of heavy metals in soil and apple tissue plants were determined by using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).  Compared with the reference site in contaminated areas, soil and plant contents of all analyzed metals are higher. The results of this study showed that different types of rootstock have different affinities for heavy metals. The average concentrations ranged from 1.85, 0.37, 6.88, 8.03, 0.05, 2.03, 4.36, 5.09 mg/kg for Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, As, Zn, Cu and Fe wi
