This study was attempted to determine the effect of reduction of phytate and phenol compound on the functional properties of sesame protein concentrate. The concentrates were prepared by using dist-water, HCI and butanol. The content of phytate and phenol compound in defatted sesame meal were 4.55% and 3.42% respectively. Considerable amount of phytate was reduced by using HCI, and butanol was effective in removing phenol compounds, Higher bulk density and fat absorption were found in sesame protein concentrate prepared by butanol but higher water absorption was found in the concentrate prepared by dist-water. Also, emulsifying and foaming properties were improved by butanol treatment.

Addition of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0g of succinic anhydride to 2g of sesame protein concentrates succinylated 44.9, 70.0and 83.1% of the available amino groups, respectively. Considerable amount of phytate were removed in all sesame protein concetrates and the highest reduction was obtained by addition of 2.0g of succinic anhydride. Among the minerals investigated, high amount of calcium and magnesium were presented in defatted sesame flour. In the case of calcium, magnesium and iron, the contents were decreased as the degree of succinylation was increased. Most amino acid content of sesame protein concentrates was not changed by succinylation but lysine was slightly decreased. Result of color measurement showed that the higher degree of succinylation, the higher values of L and B were founded.
