What is Sesame seed oil?

Sesame oil (Gingelly oil, Teel oil) is obtained by refining the expressed or extracted oil from the seeds of Sesamum indicum L. (Pedaliaceae), a herb which is widely cultivated in India, China, Japan and many tropical countries. The oil is official in the EP and BP.

The seeds contain about 50% of fixed oil which closely resembles olive oil in its properties and which it has, in some measure, replaced. It is a pale yellow, bland oil which on cooling to about −4°C solidifies to a buttery mass; it has a saponification value the same as that for olive oil and a somewhat higher iodine value (104–120).

Principal components of the oil are the glycerides of oleic and linoleic acids with small proportions of palmitic, stearic and arachidic acids. It also contains about 1% of the lignan sesamin, and the related sesamolin. The characteristic phenolic component is the basis of the BP test for identity and also the test for the detection of sesame oil in other oils. The original test involved the production of a pink colour when the oil was shaken with half its volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid containing 1% of sucrose (Baudouin’s test). However, some commercially refined oils may not give a positive Baudouin’s test. With the current BP test for the absence of sesame oil in other oils, e.g. olive oil, the reagents are acetic anhydride, a solution of furfuraldehyde and sulphuric acid; a bluish-green colour is a positive result. The composition of triglycerides in sesame oil is determined by liquid chromatography, those triglycerides having as acid radicals oleic 1 part and linoleic 2 parts, and those having oleic 2 parts and linoleic 1 part being among the most predominant.

As stated above, sesame seeds and oil also contain lignans; these are antioxidants of the tetrahydrofurofuran-type (Table 21.7) and include sesamin, sesamolinol and sesamolin. Another lignan, sesaminol, is formed during industrial bleaching of the oil. The biological activities of these compounds include reduction in serum cholesterol levels and increased vitamin E activities. For the biogenesis of such lignans see M. J. Kato et al., Phytochemistry, 1998, 47, 583.

Benefits of Sesame Oil
While it requires a little ‘getting used to’, sesame oil is unique in its characteristics and once you start cooking with it, you will learn that it can be used in many interesting ways to spruce up your everyday dishes. Besides adding an extra dose of flavour, it will also give a healthy spin to your food. How?

Here’s what makes it good for you

1. High Source of Unsaturated Fats

Unlike butter and desi ghee which come loaded with harmful saturated fat, sesame oil primarily contains unsaturated fats. According to the nutritional value chart of sesame oil, per 100 grams contain 40 grams monounsaturated fats, 42 grams polyunsaturated fats and about 14 grams saturated fats. All cooking oils contain a mix of all the three types of fats, the varying amounts of which determine how healthy or harmful it is for us. According to a study done by Harvard Medical School, not all fats are enemies of our heart. Unsaturated fats, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), may significantly reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).

2. Helps in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Don’t go by the size because sesame seeds are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. They are loaded with copper, zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium. While sesame oil may not contain as much nutrients as the seeds because some amounts of it are lost during the extraction process, they still retain most beneficial properties. It is particularly known for its zinc and copper contents, which help in the production of red blood cells, blood circulation and metabolism. Copper is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and helps reduce arthritis pain, swelling of joints and strengthens the bones.

3. Antioxidants to the Rescue

Sesame oil contains a chemical compound known as lignans, which are commonly found in plants. Lignans are known for their unique chemical and physiological properties, and especially credited with being a powerful antioxidant. Sesame oil also contains Vitamin E, another powerful antioxidant. Because of these reasons it doesn’t turn rancid easily and is commonly used in beauty treatments.

4. Lowers Blood Pressure

It is not without reason that in the ancient times sesame oil was used commonly in cooking. According to a study by an Indian researcher from Annamalai University and published in Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, “Sesame oil as edible oil lowers blood pressure, decreases lipid peroxidation, and increases antioxidant status in hypertensive patients.”

5. Great for the Skin

Sesame oil is valued in Ayurveda because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used in beauty treatments for the skin because it is an excellent moisturiser, promotes regeneration of healthy skin, has anti-aging properties, and is considered to be a natural SPF. It is also used extensively as a massaging oil because of its warming property and its ability to seep deep into the skin.(10 Health Benefits of Rice Bran Oil)

6. Helps Fight Stress and Depression

Sesame oil contains an amino acid known as tyrosine, which is directly connected to serotonin activity. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which impacts our mood. An imbalance of it could lead to depression and stress. According to experts, consuming foods that help in the production of serotonin helps in feeling positive, keeping chronic stress at bay. Sesame oil is a good example of that.

7. Oil Pulling for Oral Health

Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic technique which is followed for promoting oral health and removing plaque. A tablespoon of oil is taken on an empty stomach and swished around in the mouth for 20 minutes and then spat out. It is believed to remove toxins from the body. Sesame oil is commonly used for this practice because of its medicinal properties.

How to Use Sesame Oil

Sesame oil can be used to directly replace other cooking oils. If you are new to it, try using smaller portions to get accustomed to its taste. Gradually, you can start experimenting with different flavours and learn how it teams with other ingredients. It is commonly used in Asian cuisine, particularly for stir-fries. A quick tip is to add a teaspoon of the oil in a heated wok, tip in chopped vegetables of your choice, add seasonings and herbs and stir-fry on high heat for a few minutes before serving. You can also add it to your salads and marinades. It is quite versatile.
