| Research Abstract |
In order to investigate the effect of drying or heating on distribution of oil in a sesame seed, the microscopic technique for differential interference contrast and phase contrast imaging methods was applied to sesame sections which were stained by Nile blue reagent or imaged by unstained refraction imaging method. As a result, the oil distribution could be captured by means of traditional staining technique for the tissue combined with differential interference contrast method. It is found that the oil bodies in a sesame seed became smaller than raw condition during heating.
