This study investigated the physiological activities and antimicrobial effects of sesame, black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts. Total flavonoid contents of sesame, black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts were 2.7, 1.9, 3.0 and 1.4%, respectively, while total phenol contents were 6.5, 4.5, 4.1 and 10.1%, respectively. The electron donating abilities of sesame oil extract were markedly higher than black sesame, perilla or olive oil extract (p<0.05). The SOD-like activities of black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts were 67.2%, 90.2% and 46.7%, respectively; in contrast, sesame oil extract did not show SOD-like activity. The order of the nitrite-scavenging abilities of sesame, black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts was sesame> black sesame> perilla> olive oil extract (p<0.05). Olive oil extract showed strong antimicrobial activity to Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella Enteritidis. The black sesame oil extract showed weak antimicrobial activity to Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli; conversely, sesame and perilla oil extracts did not show any antimicrobial activity.

The aim of this study is to examine the radical scavenging activity of perilla and sesame oil that Koreans traditionally consume. For DPPH radical scavenging activity, oil and its hexane/70% methanol extracts (ME) are used and for superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, ME are used. Unrefined perilla oil, sesame oil, and refined sunflower oil are used. The yields for ME of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil are 0.57, 0.61, and 0.30%, respectively, and the amounts of phenolic compounds in ME of corresponding oil are 18.77, 88.64 and $0.05\;{\mu}g$ tannic acid/mg, respectively. $IC_{50}$ for DPPH scavenging activity of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil are 2.12, 1.91, and 3.35 mg/mL, respectively and those for ME of corresponding oils are 0.42, 0.07, and 43.11 mg/mL, respectively. In DPPH assay, the solvent used for oil sample is iso-octane and that for ME is methanol. Superoxide anion scavenging activity of ME of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil tested at 1 mg/mL concentration are 21.10, 13.25, and 3.14%, respectively. Hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of those samples tested at 1 mg/mL concentration are 86.08, 93.30, and 93.17%, respectively. In summary, the refining process seems to remove the phenolic compound during oil processing. Antiradical substances in perilla and sesame oils responsible for scavenging DPPH radicals are present in the methanol fraction, while the antiradical substances in the sunflower oil are in the lipid fraction. DPPH scavenging activity of ME of sesame oil is significantly higher than that of perilla oil (p<0.05). However, superoxide anion scavenging capacity of ME of perilla oils was found to be greater than that of both sesame and sunflower oils (p<0.05).

Sesame has been consumed for centuries as flavoring ingredient in eastern Asian countries, especially Korea. Sesame seeds have been used as health food for traditional medicine to prevent disease in Asian countries for several thousand years. Sesame seed has higher oil content (around 50%) than most of the known oilseeds. Sesame oil is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Extraction of sesame has developed significantly over the years. The mechanical method was an early means of separation which was physical pressure to squeeze the oil out. Nowadays, solvent extraction becomes the commonly used commercial technique to recover oil from oilseeds. In this study, we investigated extraction efficiency and quality of oil affected by cultivars and extraction methods of sesame seed. Different variables were investigated; roasting temperature ($170{\sim}220^{\circ}C$), extraction methods (solvent and physical pressure), forced ventilation system and cultivars. The Contents of B(a)P in sesame oil after roasting at $170{\sim}220^{\circ}C$ were 0.30~2.53 ppm. When we introduced forced ventilation system during roasting, B(a)P Contents were decreased up to 36%. The Oil extraction efficiency on sesame seed was statistically depending on the cultivars and extraction methods. The oil extraction yields of solvent and physical pressure extraction were 56.3% and 44.6%, respectively. Many of sesame cultivars and genetic resources are linolenic acid content of less than 0.5%. The results supported that we have developed a safe and high quality sesame oil processing methods for small and medium-sized companies.

Sesame oil was sometimes replaced by mixed oil due to high price in Korean market. To find out authentic sesame oil, electronic nose (E-nose) based on mass spectrometer system was used. Sesame oil was blended with perilla oil at the ratio of 97:3, 94:6, 91:9, 88:12 and 85:15, respectively. Intensities of each fragment from sesame oil by E-nose based on MS were completely different from those of perilla oil. The obtained data was used for discriminant function analysis. For quantitative analysis, the partial least square algorithm was used. The added concentration of perilla oil to sesame oil was correlated with discriminant function first score (DF1) and second score (DF2). From this relationship it could be found out how much perilla oil added. DFA plot indicated a significant separation of pure sesame oil and pure perilla oil. The different geographical origin of sesame oil was used for blending with perilla oil were closed to that of sesame oil. Korean sesame oil mixture and Indian sesame oil one were well separated. And the correlation between mixing ratios and DF1 values was found at the ratio of 97:3, 91:9, and 85:15 (SE vs PE oil), respectively. But the added concentration of perilla oil to sesame oil was correlated with discriminant function first score (DF1). E-nose based on MS system could be used as an efficient method for purity of oil quality.

Previously, we reported that a diet including sesame meal (SM) increased plasma total and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol concentrations in goats. In the present study, the components in the sesame meal that can increase plasma total and HDL-cholesterol concentrations have been examined. In experiment 1, we gave goats defatted sesame meal diet (DSM) to investigate the influence of ether extract fraction remained in sesame meal. Corn gluten meal diet (CGM) was also fed to goats as a high-protein diet to examine the influence of high dietary protein level caused by usage of sesame meal. Plasma total and HDL-cholesterol concentrations of goats fed DSM and CGM did not change during experimental periods though they were elevated by feeding SM. In experiment 2, the influence of sesame oil and corn oil added in diets on plasma total and HDL-cholesterol concentrations in goats was investigated. Plasma total and HDL-cholesterol concentrations were increased by feeding both corn oil diet and sesame oil diet. In conclusion, the increase in plasma HDL-cholesterol concentration by feeding sesame meal was resulted by the effect of ether extract fraction including sesame oil or some lipid-soluble components remained in sesame meal.

Methods for the determination of sterols in sesame oils were studied. The sesame oils were saponified and the sterols isolated from the unsaponifiable matter by Florisil column chromatography, and the individual components were determined by means of gas chromatography. Campesterol, ${\beta}-sitosterol$, stigmasterol were found in sesame oil including unknown Ⅰ and Ⅱ. The use of SE-30 gas chromatographic column allows the slow elution, duplication of peaks and relatively low reproducibility, therefore, 3% OV-17 was suitable for the sterol analysis. The result of this study showed that contents of sterols in sesame oil were campesterol 8.4%, stigmasterol 4.5%, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ 33.9% and others 53.0% involving 8.8% of unknown I and 44.3% of unknown Ⅱ. There has been no specific test available for identifying the sesame oil among common edible oils. But the ratio of sterols in sesame oils allowed the estimation of genuiness. The ratio of sterols vs. campesterol in genuine sesame oils were stigmasterol 0.3- 0.6, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ 3.0-3.8 and unknown Ⅱ 3.0, respectively. The 65 samples were composed of genuine sesame oil 40%, mixed rape seed oil 3%, cotton seed oil 1. 5% others were reused soybean oil or re-extracted oil.

Electronic-nose system was used to discriminate commercial sesame oils (A-F) extracted from imported seeds. Response (delta $R_{gas}/R_{air}$) of sensors gained from electronic nose was analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). Flavor pattern of sesame oil A was similar to those of sesame oils B, C, and D. Sesame oils blended with corn oil at the ratio of 95:5, 90:10 and 80:20% (sesame oil/corn oil, w/w) could be discriminated from ouch genuine sesame oil.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is probably the most ancient oilseed crop known in the world. Sesame seed is known for its high nutritional value and for having oil (51%) and protein (20%) content. The fatty acid composition of sesame oil is palmitic acid (7.8%), stearic acid (3.6%), oleic acid (45.3%), and linoleic acid (37.7%). Sesame oil is characterized by a very high oxidative stability compared with other vegetable oils. Two lignan-type compounds, sesamin and sesamolin, are the major constituents of sesame oil unsaponifiables. Sesamol (a sesamolin derivative) can be present in sesame seeds and oils in very small amount. Other lignans and sesamol are also present in sesame seeds and oils in very small amount as aglycones. Lipid oxidation activity was significantly lower in the sesamolin-fed rats, which suggests that sesamolin and its metabolites contribute to the antioxidative properties of sesame seeds and oil and support that sesame lignans reduce susceptibility to oxidative stress. Sesaminols strongly inhibit lipid peroxidation related to their ability to scavenge free radical. The sesame seed lignan act synergistically with vitamin I in rats fed a low $\alpha$-tocopherol diet and cause a marked increase in a u-tocopherol concentration in the blood and tissue of rats fed an $\alpha$-tocopherol containing diet with sesame seed or its lignan. The authors are reviewed and discussed for present status and prospects of quality evaluation and researched in sesame seeds to provide and refers the condensed informations on their quality.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of various lipids on the quality of Yackwa. Sesame oil, soybean oil, margarine for cream, margarine for pie and shortening were used as lipid for making dough of Yackwa in this study. The expansion rate of Yackwa ranked in the order of shortening, margarine for pie, soybean oil, margarine for cream and sesame oil. The Yackwa made with shortening showed low hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness such as the ones made with sesame oil. The Yackwa made with sesame oil was oily and showed the lowest acceptability, but the Yackwa of shortening gained the highest score of acceptability in sensory evaluation. In conclusion. this experimental result indicated that shortening would be very useful as a substitute for sesame oil in making Yackwa.
