Soaking and sprouting reduced the bulk density and
dispersion of the samples from an initial value of (0.83% and 67.50%) for the unsprouted seed flour to a value of
(0.71% and 59.00%) in 10 h soaked samples but increased slightly in most of the soaked sprouted-boiled samples. Thus,
soaking of sesame seeds for 12 – 14 h before sprouting can be used to improve the proximate composition and functional
properties of sesame seeds, hence, increase the utilization of the flour.
