The possibility of rapid non-destructive qualitative and quantitative analysis of vegetable oils such as perilla, com, soybean and rapaseed oils in sesame oils was evaluated. A calibration equation calculated by MPLS(Modified Partial Least Squares) regression technique was developed and coefficients of determination for perilla oil, com oil, soybean oil and rapaseed oil contents were 0.9992, 0.9694, 0.9795 and 0.9790 respectively. According to the data obtained from validation study, $R^2$ of contents of perilla, com, soybean, rapaseed oils were 0.997, 0.848, 0.957 and 0.968, and SEP of content of them 0.747, 5.069, 3.063 and 3.000 by MPLS respectively. The results indicate that the NIRS procedure can potentially be used as a non-destructive analysis method for the rapid and simple measurement of sesame oil mixed with other vegetable oils. The detection limits of the NIRS for perilla oil, com oil, soybean oil and rapaseed oil were presumed as 2%, $15{\sim}20%,\;15{\sim}20%$ and 10%, respectively.
