• 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.
  • What is a sesame seed?
  • Sesame ( Sesamum indicum L., Pedaliaceae) is a common oilseed crop cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Sesame seeds have high economical and nutritional value mainly due to their high oil content (45¨C60%). The world¡¯s sesame oil production was about 4,756,000 tons in 2013 (FAOSTAT 2015.
  • 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.
