Characterization of Physico-chemical and other Bioactive properties of Sesame Seed Oil Extracted By Cold-Pressed Method
Cooking oils are mostly derived from seeds, fruits and nuts. Generally oil from the seed is obtained by heating, crushing and refining of all the oil through hot extraction methods but cold pressing is known to be the best natural way to obtain fresh and healthy oils. In cold pressed extraction, seeds are pounded by an external force. It does not include any heating process. Because the oil is not expected to be heated, and it retains the essential nutrients, proteins and various bioactive compounds present in oils, making it a better oil for cooking than oils made by the heating process/hot press. Due to this reason, the present study aims to extract the cold pressed sesame oil from selected varieties released to assess the quality of oil with physicochemical parameters and bioactive compounds investigated.
Introduction
Sesame is one of the most commonly eaten foods either seeds or oil. It is also an important component of many processed food products with its excellent flavour, aroma, taste and attractive colour. These qualities enable use in salads, food, and appetisers as well as in the production of margarine and cooking oils.
This present study was aimed at evaluating the effect of extraction methods on the physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition in Sesame seed oil.
Method
Oil extraction
Cold press method was used to extract oil from the sesame seed. After the extraction process, the oil was filtered to remove impurities and then kept in a glass bottle under 18 °C.
