This study was investigated to viscosity, color, chemical properties, and lipid and fatty acid composition for examination of physical and chemical characteristics of sesame oils. Yield of sesame oil was higher in Ansan sesame than that of Chinese and Dambaek sesame. Viscosity of sesame oils was higher than that of shame oils from Dambaek and Chinese sesame, but turbidity and sedimentation rate were higher in Dambaek's sesame oil than those of Ansan's and Chinese sesame oils. In the acid value, saponification value and iodine value of sesame oils, and chemical characteristics of Dambaek's sesame oil were better than those of the others. The neutral, glycolipid and phosholipid contents of sesame oils were 91.1∼92.1, 2.5∼3.5 and 5.5∼6.4%, respectively. The major fatty acids of sesame oils were oleic, linoleic palmitic and stearic acid. The content of oleic acid was higher in Dambaek's and Ansan's sesame oil than that of Chinese sesame oil, and the content of linoleic acid was higher in Chinese sesame oil than the others. The fatty acid composition of neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid were similar to those of total lipid. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acid and saturated fatty acid was higher in Korean sesame oils than those in Chinese sesame oil. The mineral(Mg, Cu, Fe, In, Al, Mn) content of Korean sesame oils was higher than that of Chinese sesame oil. and heavy metals(Cu, Ag, Pb, Cd, As) were not detected.

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the oxidative stability of the various sesasme blended oils. Sesame blended oils were perpared by mixing sesame oil with various vegetalbe oils (soybean oil, corn oil, ricebran oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, and perilla oil) in a ratio of 3:7 (w/w). Fatty acid composition and some of physico-chemical characteristics of the sesame blended oils and vegetable oils including sesame oil were determined before the oxidation experiments. The fatty acid compositions and the physico-chemical characteristics of the vegetable oils changed by blending the oils with sesame oil and the extent of change varied with the type of oil. Particularly, the iodine value of the vegetable oils decreased significantly by sesame oil blending. The sesame blended oils and the vegetable oils including sesame oil were oxidized at $45^{\circ}C$ for 25 days in a dark place, and at $35^{\circ}C$ for 12 days under the irradiation of incandescent electric lamp (40 W). During the oxidation, some physico-chemical characteristics of the oils were determined to evaluate the oxidative stability. Based on the changes of peroxide values, the oxidative stability of the vegetable oils was improved by sesame oil blending.

This study was carried out to determine the composition of fatty acids from the samples such as Korean and Chinese sesame oils and adulterated sesame oils with commercial edible oils including soybean and corn oils collected in Gyeongnam area. The fatty acid composition of sesame oils extracted from commercial Korean and Chinese sesame showed similar pattern except the result that Korean sesame oils contained lower levels of palmitic acid, stearic acid and higher level of linolenic acid than Chinese sesame oils. In adulterated sesame oils with commercial soybean oil, the composition of linolenic acid was increased 0.73$\pm$0.05%, 1.25$\pm$0.04% by adding of commercial soybean oil, 3%, 9%, respectively. And that of the linoleic acid was 50.22$\pm$0.06%, 51.14$\pm$0.05% by 5%, 9% addition of commercial corn oil, respectively. From these results, sesame oils and adulterated sesame oils with commercial edible oils will be verified by the composition analysis of fatty acids.

The contents of ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-, and $\delta$-tocopherols in sesame oils were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. ${\alpha}$-Tocopherol contents ranged from 10.28 to 19.79 mg/g oil, ${\beta}$-tocopherol contents from 8.22 to 20.10 mg/g. However, both ${\gamma}$- and $\delta$-tocopherol were less than 1.49 mg/g or not detected. ${\gamma}$-Tocopherol was not detected from both unroasted white and black sesame seed oils. Significantly higher level of tocopherol in sesame oil than other oils is an evidence of the reason why it is highly stable and prevents oxidation. The tocopherol composition for twenty sesame oils was classified by using principal component analysis.

Six sesame oils prepared from Korean and Chinese sesame were oxidized at 40$^{\circ}C$ for 16 weeks in a dark place. Effects of oxidative stability on tocopherols of those sesame oils were studied in related to chemical changes in the oils. All oil samples showed that the rate of tocopherol reduction was increased by the storage time. The changes of peroxide value, free fatty acid, carbonyl content were not caused in direct relation to the tocopherols oxidation. The amount of total tocopherol in the Korean sesame oil ranged from 48.7-50.3mg/100g and Chinese seseame oil ranged from 42.4-44.7 mg/100g According to the three individual tocopherols remaining content after 16weeks, ${\gamma}$-,${\alpha}$-,${\beta}$- tocopherol showed 70%, 30%, 20% of initial concentrations in the oils respectively. There was no significant difference between Korean and Chinese sesame oil except the higher total amount of the tocopherol in Korean sesame oil than that of Chinese.

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.

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.

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.
