• How to optimize a process for sesame oil extraction by screw-pressing?
  • Ma. Gabriela Bord¨®n, Box-Behnken designs were used to optimize a process for sesame oil extraction by screw-pressing at low temperature (50 ¡ãC). Experimental designs included seed moisture content (SMC), pressing speed (PS), and restriction die (RD) as the main processing parameters.
  • How is sesame oil extracted?
  • Sesame oil is usually extracted by means of mechanical screw-pressing. The conventional screw-pressing processes used for SO extraction generally include a previous seed roasting step. Although seed roasting can increase oil recovery, it may have deleterious effects on oil quality.
  • How to make oil from sesame seeds?
  • Also oil can be produced by most natural methods, chemical materials or additives which are not used commonly. The finest oil extraction mode of sesame seeds is mechanical cold press (at a low temperature as such lower than 45 ¡ãC), which filtration of the fluid will improve the quality.
  • How to determine the quality of sesame oil?
  • Free fatty acid contents and peroxide values are common parameters for determination of the oils quality (ElKhier et al., 2008). The conventional process for sesame oil extraction includes: (1) cleaning, (2) dehulling, (3) roasting, (4) grinding and (5) oil extraction, respectively (Fukuda and Namiki, 1988).
  • What is sesame oil?
  • Introduction Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) from Pedaliaceae, is a very common oil seed crop being cultivated in the tropical and high temperate regions of the world (Biabani and Pakniyat, 2008). This oil is main product of India, Sudan, China and Burma (60% of produced sesame oil in the world) (ElKhier et al., 2008).
  • Can roasted sesame seed oil be used for frying?
  • Sesame chemical aspects of the antioxidative activity of roasted sesame seed oil and the effect of using the oil for frying. Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 50, 857¨C862.
