• What is sesame seed oil (SSO)?
  • Sesame seed oil (SSO) is an edible vegetable oil derived from sesame seeds (SS) (Sesamum indicum L.) through cold pressing and filtering.
  • What is the composition of cold pressed sesame seed oil (cpsso)?
  • The major components of cold pressed sesame seed oil (CPSSO) were determined using gas chromatography. The major FAs found in all samples are myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1), and linoleic acid (C18:2).
  • What is cold expeller pressed sesame oil?
  • Cold expeller pressed sesame oil is derived from sesame seeds and is one of the most stable natural oils. It varies in color from light to deep reddish-yellow. Sesame oil is considered an abundant source of linoleic and oleic acids, which together account for 75%¨C85% of all fatty acids, with smaller amounts of stearic (5%¨C6%) and palmitic acids (7%¨C8%).
  • How long does cold pressed sesame oil last?
  • The shelf life of cold pressed sesame oils is typically 6-12 months due to its high PUFAs content, principally ¦Á-linolenic acid, and the amount of antioxidants ( Choe & Min, 2006 ).
  • How to detect adulteration of cold pressed sesame oil?
  • Cold pressed sesame oil adulteration with hazelnut, canola, and sunflower oils can be rapidly detected using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Application of triacylglycerol and fatty acid analyses is used to discriminate blended sesame oil from other oils.
  • How does cpsso affect oxidative stability and lipid classes of sesame oil?
  • Cold pressed sesame oil (CPSSO) decreases cholesterol levels in the blood and gives the liver protection against damage caused by oxidation (Boskou, 2017 ). The study ‘Effect of processing on oxidative stability and lipid classes of sesame oil’ by Ananth, Deviram, Mahalakshmi, Sivasudha, and Tietel also reports that CPSSO retards the oxidative impact in vivo.
