Abstract

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.
