In order to examine the effect of storage conditions on lipid and minor elements compositions of sesame seed, the changes in general characteristics and fractionation pattern o the lipid, and such minor elements as sesamol, sesamolin and sesamin were analyzed during the storage of sesame seeds for 4, 9, and 15 months at the four different storage conditions, that is, storage under light with linen pouch(LA), storage in dark with linen pouch(DA), storage under light with polyethylene pouch(LS) and storage in dark with poly ethylene pouch(DS). The acid value were increased significantly during the storage for 4 to 9 months then continued same acid value with prolonged storage until 15 months, but iodine value were increased continuously until 15 months in all the storage conditions, and the increasing tendency of the value at LA and DA was higher than that at LS and DS. Steryl ester was increased in the LA but decreased in DS with prolonged storage until 15 months. Diglyceride was increased during the storage in alt the storage conditions and increasing tendency in LA was higher than that in DS and LS. The free fatty acid contents were significantly increased until g months of storage, then similar value was continued with prolonged storage. Phospholipid was decreased with prolonged storage until 15 months and decreasing tendency in DA and LA was sharper than that in LS and DS. The content of free sesamol was ranged from 0.0021 to 0. 0058% of total lipid. Free sesamol was increased but bound sesamol was decreased during the storage for 15 months in all the storage conditions. Sesamolin was ranged from 0.11 to 0.19% of total lipid and decreasing tendency during the storage was similar to free sesamol.

Changes in antioxidative substances-sesamol, sesamin and sesamolin - and mineral contents of sesame oil during refining processes have been studied to investigate the oxidative stability of oils during the storage at $70^{\circ}C$. Fe, Cu, Mg and Zn were nearly removed from the oil by the degumming process. During storage, the changes of total volatile contents in crude and degummed sesame oil were not noticeable but those in alkali-refined and deodorized sesame oil were increased at early period of the storage. The increases of hexanal and pentanal were most noticeable and their concentration was increased markedly in alkali-refined, bleached and deodorized sesame oil at early period of the storage. During refining processes and storage, sesamin was relatively stable but the content of sesamolin was decreased. The content of sesamol was decreased until alkali-refining process but increased during a bleaching process. The content of sesamolin tended to decrease with increasing of sesamol during storage.

The aim of this study was to investigate method validation for determination of sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin in non-fermented sesame and fermented sesame by bioconversion. For validation, the specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limits of detection (LOD), and quantification (LOQ) of sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin were measured by HPLC. Linearity tests showed that the coefficients of calibration correlation ($R^2$) for sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin were 0.9999. Recovery rates of lignan contents in non-fermented and fermented sesame were high in the ranges of 100.27~115.10% and 98.43~114.90%, respectively. The inter-day and intra-day precisions of sesamin and sesamolin analyses for non-fermented and fermented sesame were 0.27~1.94% and 0.25~0.69%, respectively. The LOD and LOQ were $0.23{\sim}0.34{\mu}g/g$ and $0.70{\sim}1.03{\mu}g/g$, respectively. These results indicate that the validated method is appropriate for the determination of sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), one of the oldest oilseed crops, has been known to posses antioxidative and inflammatory effects. This seed contains lignan compounds such as sesamin, sesamol, sesaminol, sesaminol diglucosides (SDG), and sesaminol triglucosides (STG). Sesamin, a major lignan in sesame, displayed several biological activities including a protective effects against oxidative damage in the skin. In the present study, we investigated the effect of sesamin, sesamol, sesaminol, SDG, and STG, on nitric oxide (NO) induction and inducible nitric oxide synthane (iNOS) and cyclooxygenases-2 (COX-2) expression in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. The results showed that sesamol and sesaminol significantly inhibited NO generation but they were also cytotoxicity however, sesamin effectively inhibited NO production ($IC_{50}: 64{\mu}M$) without my cytotoxic effect in LPS-stimulated macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. In further study, it was founded that sesamin inhibited the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase but not COX-2 expression. These results suggest that sesamin may be useful for improvements of the inflammatory diseases.

In order to obtain the basal data far quality and sanitary stability of sesame oil extracted from imported sesame flours oil of whole sesame and flour sesame were investigated the proximate composition, chemical properties, fatty acid composition, sesamol, sesamolin, sesamin contents and oxidation induction period by AOM test. Moisture contents of sesame flours were less remarkably than whole sesame. There were no differences in proteins. Acid value and saponiflcation value were higher sesame flour oil than whole sesame oil. iodine value of sesame flour oil were lower than whole sesame oils. In fatty acid composition of sesame oil, contents of linolenic acid and linoleic acid were 222.44 ∼144.14 and 2713.00 ∼ 1776.46 mg/mL, respectively. And the contents of linoleic acid and γ-linoleic acid were lower sesame flour oil than whole sesame oil. The sesamol contents of sesame oil were higher whole sesame oil than sesame flour oil, sesamol content of India whole sesame oil was highest of them. The sesaminl sesamolin contents of Korean whole sesame oil were the Highest Oxidation induction periods of sesame oil by AOM were 6.76 and 13.35 In on north Korea and Chinese sesame flour oil, respectively. Therefore, it appears that oxidative stability was lower in north Korea and China sesame flour oil than in whole sesame oil group.

This study was investigated to compare the changes of antioxidative compounds in sesame oil with roasting temperature$(110^{\circ}C{\sim}230^{\circ}C)$. Lightness was decreased markedly over $170^{\circ}C$. In the changes of lignan contents, 7 different lignans unchanged up to $170^{\circ}C$ and sesamolin and sesamin decreased markedly, whereas sesamol, unknown1, unknown3 increased drastically at the higher temperatures. In tocopherol contents, ${\gamma}-tocopherol$ decreased from 70.59 mg% in unroasted oil to 33.87 mg% at $220^{\circ}C$, and to 26.73 mg% at $230^{\circ}C$. In the result of AOM(active oxygen method) test carried out at $120^{\circ}C$ for evaluating oxidative stability, the induction period of unroasted oil was 4.12 hrs and that of roasted oils was increased with roasting temperature (induction period at $220^{\circ}C$ was 27.9 hrs.). From the above results, it was confirmed that correlation coefficient between oxidative stability and lightness is -0.993 and that between oxidative stability and sesamol content is 0.934 above $170^{\circ}C$. Therefore its remarkable oxidative stability with the roasting temperature, might be considered to be due to the increase of sesamol, other lignans(unknown 1, unknown 3).

The natural antioxidants such as ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, NDGA, proply gallate and sesamol, and synthetic antioxidants, BHA were used to compare antioxidative effects of those antioxidants from tile physico-chemical properties and fatty acid composition changes in the soybean oil during storage. The oils were stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks after heat treatment. Natural antioxidants were less effective than BHA but effect of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ was very similar to that of BHA. The order of antioxidative effect was BHA, ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, NDCA propyl gallate and sesamol. The relative contents of linoleic acid and linolenic acid was decreased as the degree of oxidative rancidity was increased. whereas content of oleic acid and palmitic acid was increased. The content of linoleic acid and linolenic acid did not decreased by addition of BHA and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$.

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.
