Cold
Pressed Sesame Oil
Sesame
oil is also known as gingelly oil or
til oil or nallennai which
is obtained from sesame seeds. Sesame oil plays an important role in Asian
cuisine and also alternative medicine. Sesame oil is obtained from sesame seeds
either by simply crushing or toasting over heat. The first method provides cold
pressed sesame oil. While cold pressed sesame oil is pale yellow, hot processed
sesame oils have darker shades and markedly different flavor. Apart from the
mild, nutty flavor of cold pressed sesame oil, it contains a higher proportion
of fatty acids than sesame oil obtained from heated seeds. In addition, the
sesamolin content of cold pressed sesame oil protects it from oxidation
and therefore increases its shelf life upto 1 year.
Sesame
oil is the natural oil for stir frying and Indian style cooking which will
boost the flavour of your favourite recipes. Also, suitable for any dish, pan
frying, deep frying, salads, desserts and more. It adds a rich aroma and a
crispy & light texture. Sesame oil contains two unique natural chemicals
called sesamol and sesamin. They are very powerful antioxidants and known to
help reduce blood pressure. It prevents the oxidation and keeps the oil in good
condition.
Nutrients
Cold
pressed sesame oil is a good source of vitamin E containing
11.8 mg of the vitamin for every 100g of the oil. Vitamin E gives sesame oil
its antioxidant property. It also has a high concentration of fatty acids
including polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids and monounsaturated omega-9 fatty
acids. Other constituents of cold pressed sesame oil include zinc, copper,
magnesium, calcium and iron as well as vitamin B-6. Zinc contributes to healthy
bones, copper is good for the management of rheumatoid arthritis, calcium is
essential for the prevention of osteoporosis, migraine and colon cancer and
magnesium contributes to respiratory health.
Cardiovascular
Benefits
The
high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids present in cold pressed
sesame oil helps to control the hypertension. These fatty acids are not the
only constituents of the oil helpful in reducing blood pressure but also one of
the natural preservatives present in the cold pressed sesame oil, sesamin, is a
lignan shown to lower blood pressure. Furthermore, sesamin inhibits the
production and absorption of cholesterol and therefore which contributes to
overall cardiac health.
Cosmetic
Benefits
Cold
pressed sesame oil is well known medicine in Ayurvedic practice as the healing
oil. When applied topically to the skin or hair, its antibacterial, antiviral
and anti-inflammatory properties provide nourishing, protective and detoxifying
effects on stressed and damaged skin. The high concentration of omega-6 fatty
acids in cold pressed sesame oil makes it a moisturizing and an ideal massage
oil. Sesame oil also rejuvenates the skin and prevents premature aging. It is
especially useful for dry and damaged skins as well as in the treatment of sunburn,
skin allergies, chemical burns, eczema, rosacea, dry hair and dandruff. It also
provides a benefit for patients undergoing chemotherapy and those sensitive to
swimming pool chlorine.
Culinary
Benefits
Cold
pressed sesame oil keeps the longest among all other cooking oils with the
highest smoke point. This is due to preservative actions of sesamin and sesamol
naturally available in it. These preservatives make it possible to keep sesame
oil from going rancid even while it is stored in the open. Unlike the darker
sesame oil obtained from roasted sesame seeds, cold pressed sesame oil has a
higher smoke point and can be used for deep-frying. Even then it should be
heated carefully to preserves its mild, nutty flavor and maintain its
concentration of vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids.
