Sesame Oils
Refined Sesame Oil
Oil obtained from mature Sesamum indicum seeds. It has a balanced combination of oleic and linoleic acids and the natural antioxidants characteristic of sesame. Refining reduces odour, flavour, colour, acidity and impurities, producing a more neutral, stable and versatile oil for industrial formulations. Its main uses are in food, Asian cuisine, bakery products, cosmetics and pharmaceutical excipients.
