Gingelly

An experiment was carried out to study the effect of paper mill effluent on germination and growth behaviour of crops like maize, groundnut, sunflower, soyabean, black gram, green gram, gingelly [sesame] and castor beans in Tamil Nadu, India [date not given].

The surfactant showed comparatively high emulsification index over Gingelly oil at the rate of 71%.

Cultural conditions for the production of lipase by Aspergillus niger strain MTCC 2594 by solid-state fermentation using gingelly oil cake were standardized.
