The
global sesame oil market is expected to portray majestic growth in forthcoming
period. Sesame oil derived from sesame seed, a condiment of an early origin is
used as cooking oil in South India and to improve flavors in Middle Eastern,
African and Southeast Asian culinary. Sesame oil’s alternative medicinal
applications lay a strong ground for Blood Pressure control being steeped in
handsome properties such as antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats. Sesame oil
makes its way into body massage oil and therapies with a distinctive and easy
to place nutty aroma and taste.
Countries
producing sesame oils on a large-scale are India, Myanmar and China. For that
matter, Asian countries and Africa are the largest producers of sesame seeds.
The past three to four years witnessed a bad climate for pursuing sesame seed
production which led to their low crop output, however now Africa is producing
large quantities of sesame in the backdrop of a highly developed export market.
Sesame
seed being the earliest oilseed crop has one-fifth oil content. Sesame grows
into a full-blown crop, with little help needed from cultivation and is immune
to drought conditions and just a little amount of moisture will do for growth
of the crop. Even in sunny conditions, the crop grows unhindered and sesame
seeds often find use in baking, buns, bagels, and breads, salads, cooking oils,
margarine and other food products.
The
sesame seeds produce a very original and unique flavor with a distinct presence
as food additives. Sesame oils have a rancid smell associated with it that
turns quite ugly with a long shelf life, though long shelf life comes naturally
to sesame oil with high oxidation stability proving a market deterrent for
sesame oils.
This
restraint can successfully be averted in the production process if certain
steps are adhered to right from harvesting to distribution. Care should be
taken in seed extraction with long delays between extraction and distribution
that could be counter-productive. One of the most important factors in sesame
seed is its quality which is yet again dependent upon several other factors
including odor and flavor, oil content and damaged/mouldy seeds, Sesame seeds
should ideally be free from aflatoxin or salmonella which again will prevent
contamination in oil as well. Aflatoxin and salmonella are problem buddies and
are closely guarded against.
Sesame
oil may be got from black (hulled) or white (de-hulled) sesame seeds and
toasting of the hulled seeds increases oxidative stability that increases
shelf-life by improving olfactory perception. Sesame oil is liquid under normal
temperature conditions and maintaining correct temperatures may bring about
better oxidative properties that extend shelf life of the product, a common
restraint of sesame oils.
Segmentation
of sesame oil market by type includes white sesame oil and black sesame oil.
Segmentation of sesame oil market by application includes food and health
industry, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic and skin care industry. Segmentation
of sesame oil market by geographical region includes North America, Europe,
