Case Study

Study on the Antioxidant Components and Antioxidant Activity of Sesame Seed Oil

Wan, Yin, et al. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2015, 95(13), 2571-2578.

The superior oxidative stability of sesame seed oil (SSO) compared to other vegetable oils is attributed to its antioxidant properties, particularly from its lignans. Additionally, the presence of tocopherols and browning substances resulting from the Maillard reaction further enhance its antioxidant capabilities. This study examines the antioxidant properties of lignans, tocopherols, and browning reactions in sesame seed oil.
· Antioxidant properties of SSO
Despite containing over 8 g kg-1 of unsaturated fatty acids and a small amount of free fatty acids (72 mg kg-1) in its unrefined form, sesame seed oil demonstrates exceptional stability in comparison to other vegetable oils. Even when stored at 60 ºC for 50 days, the unsaturated fatty acids in SSO, particularly in roasted SSO, do not degrade.
· Antioxidant components of SSO
The remarkable antioxidant activity of sesame seed oil is attributed to the presence of lignans (such as sesamin, sesamolin, and sesamol), tocopherols, Maillard reaction products, and the synergistic effects of these components working together.
· The synergistic antioxidative action
Numerous studies have indicated that the combined effects of the active components, rather than the individual effects of each, are responsible for the bioactivity of SSO. One illustration is the synergistic antioxidant activity of sesaminol and γ-tocopherol in enhancing the oxidative stability of sesaminol-enriched sunflower oil.
