Abstract:

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil is the fatty matter obtained from sesame seeds, by cold pressing or hot pressing, followed by refining. The seeds must have a maximum moisture content of 7% and must be free of foreign bodies. After pressing, the oil is decanted and then filtered, through a natural cotton filter, thus ensuring the superior quality of the obtained oil. Sesame oil is the most resistant oil to oxidation and is stable at room temperature. The burning point is 177 degrees for cold pressed sesame oil.
