sesame oil
Sesame oil is an edible vegetable
oil derived from sesame seeds,
and is very commonly used in
South Indian cuisine. It is also
used as a flavour enhancer in
Chinese, Korean and certain
other Southeast Asian cuisines.
There are many variations of
sesame oil. Cold-pressed sesame
oil is almost colourless, while
Indian sesame oil (gingelly or til
oil) is golden and Chinese sesame
oil is commonly a dark brown
colour. This dark colour and
flavour are derived from
roasted/toasted sesame seeds.
Likewise, cold-pressed sesame oil
has less flavour than the toasted
oil, since it is produced directly
from raw, rather than toasted
seeds. Cold-pressed sesame oil is
available in Western health
shops, while in most Asian
countries, different kinds of hotpressed sesame oil are preferred.
Sesame oil has a high proportion
(41%) of polyunsaturated fats
(Omega-6 fatty acids). Yet,
compared to other cooking oils
with a high smoking point, it is
least prone to rancidity when
kept in the open. This is due to
the natural antioxidants present
in the oil.
How to select
Sesame oil is sold in bottles or
tightly-sealed sachets for culinary
use. Choose a pack size
depending on your needs.
Look out for a light golden
colour when choosing sesame
oil.
Also, make sure it is free from
discoloration, cloudiness or
granulation.
Culinary Uses
Sesame oil is commonly used
for tempering, as a flavour
enhancer, lubricant and
preservative in south Indian
cuisine.
Since sesame oil is almost
tasteless and odourless, it is a
good choice for baking.
It is widely used as a salad oil
and is also the main ingredient in
the production of margarine
Sesame oil is used in the
manufacture of pickles.
Light sesame oil has a high
smoke point, and is suitable for
deep-frying. However, heavy
(dark) sesame oil made from
roasted sesame seeds has a

from deep-frying as reheating the
oil again and again may affect
the chemical composition and
rancidity quotient of the oil.
Unopened bottles, or metal
containers, can be kept for about
a year. Once they've been
opened, though, they should be
used within two months, after
which, they can turn rancid (bad)
and shouldn't be consumed.
If possible, transfer the oil from
a can into a glass bottle to avoid
metallic tasting oil; plastic
containers shouldn't be used
because they may leach a plastic
taste into the oil.

could be used in the treatment of
dry nose, reduction of cholesterol
levels (due to presence of
Lignans which are
phytoestrogens), as a laxative, a
remedy for toothaches and gum
disease, and as an anti-bacterial
