Oxidative stabilities of sesame oil prepared from black sesame flour and white sesame flour, and commercial sesame oil prepared from whole white sesame were compared by measuring oxidation induction periods, peroxide values and electron donating abilities of each oil. Oxidation induction period (12.25 hr) of sesame oil prepared from black sesame flour was longer than those (4.37 and 9.1 hr, respectively) of sesame oil from white sesame flour and commercial sesame oil. Peroxide values of sesame oil prepared from black sesame flour, sesame oil prepared from white sesame flour and commercial sesame oil were 1.3, 18.2 and 1.7 meq/kg oil, respectively. We ascertained that the oxidative stability of sesame oil prepared from black sesame flour was superior than sesame oil from white sesame flour as well as ommercial sesame oil. This was based on the fact that electron donating ability of sesame oil prepared from black sesame flour was 9% higher than that of sesame oil prepared from white sesame flour at the same concentration. The superior oxidative stability of sesame oil prepared from black sesame flour was expected, not only because only it had lignans such as sesamol and sesamolin, but also because of its brownish coloring compounds such as tannin which were not contained in white sesame flour.

This study investigated the physiological activities and antimicrobial effects of sesame, black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts. Total flavonoid contents of sesame, black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts were 2.7, 1.9, 3.0 and 1.4%, respectively, while total phenol contents were 6.5, 4.5, 4.1 and 10.1%, respectively. The electron donating abilities of sesame oil extract were markedly higher than black sesame, perilla or olive oil extract (p<0.05). The SOD-like activities of black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts were 67.2%, 90.2% and 46.7%, respectively; in contrast, sesame oil extract did not show SOD-like activity. The order of the nitrite-scavenging abilities of sesame, black sesame, perilla and olive oil extracts was sesame> black sesame> perilla> olive oil extract (p<0.05). Olive oil extract showed strong antimicrobial activity to Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella Enteritidis. The black sesame oil extract showed weak antimicrobial activity to Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli; conversely, sesame and perilla oil extracts did not show any antimicrobial activity.

It is estimated that sesame spread to Korea about B.C.1000 years and people cultivated sesame and ate sesame-oil age of three-nations. In the Koryo dynasty, sesame was cultivated as the major crop and there were specialists for making sesame oil. The sesame oil was enough for the both upper and lower classes. In the Chosun dynasty, it was introduced widely the method of sesame and deul-sesame (Perilla japonica) cultivation, the way of keeping sesame oil, and how to make sesame oil. Also, there were several ways of making sesame oil; press oil from raw sesame, or from roasting, boiling, and steaming sesame and etc. Even though sesame-oil and sesames were consumed in large quantities to cook Chan (찬 side dishes) and Byung-gwa (병과 Korean traditional dessert), most of common people could not use freely because it was expensive. You-mil-gwa (유밀과) took always a major dishes in the ceremony or party of the royal classes to the ordinary classes in the Chosun dynasty. Sesames and Sesame-oil made a major role in adding flavor to Chan-mul and Coookies in the Korean traditional cuisine. Especially, sesame-oil was consumed a lot to cook You-mil-gwa, You-kwa (유과), You-jeon-byung (유전병 fried rice cake) and Yak-bab (약밥). Roasted sesame and black sesame were used to cook Da-sik (다식), Gang-jung, and rice cake. Sesame oil and sesame was the major part of vegetable dishes such as Na-mul and it was used to add flavor to steamed, roasted and, pan-fried dishes and to roast, fry, and stew food. Heuk-im-ja-jook(black sesame porridge) and Im-ja-su-soup(임자수탕).

Although lignans of sesame seed, sesamolin and sesamin have been known as possessing an antioxidant activity, it is less known about their contents of the sesame cultivated in Korea. Collections of sesame cultivated in Korea were used for studies on their lignans content of the seed and fatty acids composition of the oil. The sesamin content of sesame seed with white-coat were 370.29 mg/100g seed, while that of sesame seed with black-coat were 246.58mg/100g seed. Also, the sesamolin contents of sesame seed were 202.22 mg/100g seed in white-coat cultivars and 132.68 mg/100g seed in black-coat sesames. Hence, the lignan content of white-coat sesame cultivars was significantly hi임or than that of black-coat ones. Korean sesame cultivars also showed considerably higher sesamin content than sesamolin content in seeds. The correlation between sesamin and sesamolin contents was not recognized in Korean sesame cultivars. The stearic acid of white-coat sesame was significantly higher than that of black-coat one (p＜0.05).

In this study, we found that the moisture content of black sesame seeds increased in proportion to steaming time, and it decreased in reverse proportion to the roasting temperature and time. The crude fat and crude ash contents were shown to be in the order of steamed black sesame>raw black sesame and roasted black sesame>raw black sesame, Crude protein decreased in reverse proportion to the steaming time, and more crude protein was found in the raw black sesame samples than in the roasted black sesame samples. The contents of sesamin, sesamolin, and total lignans were shown to be in the order of roasted black sesame>raw black sesame>steamed black sesame. In the steamed black sesame samples, sesamin showed its highest level with 20 minutes of treatment, and sesamolin showed its highest level with 15 minutes of treatment. In the roasted black sesame samples, sesamin, sesamolin, and total lignans showed their highest levels with 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$. The phenolic compound content increased in proportion to steaming time in the steamed samples, and reached a peak after 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$, and then decreased after 20 minutes. SOD-like activity reached a peak after 15 minutes of treatment, and in the roasted sample it reached a peak after 15 minutes of treatment, and then decreased after 20 minutes. SOD-like activity was comparatively lower than tocopherol and higher than sesamol. The intensity of electron donating ability, following 30 minute treatments, was shown to be highest in the steamed black sesame samples after 25 minutes of treatment, and next highest in the roasted black sesame samples after 15 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$. The electron donating ability was comparatively lower than tocopherol and sesamol. With regard to lecithin's antioxidant effects, the steamed samples showed a higher oxidation restriction rate in proportion to time, and the roasted samples showed the highest rate after 15 minutes of treatment, and then decreased after 20 minutes of treatment. for hydroxyl radical scavenging, similar scavenging activity to tocopherol, and comparatively higher scavenging activity than sesamol, was shown in all samples: all samples showed scavenging abilities of 90% or higher. In summary, this study applied three different treatment methods to black sesame to determine the optimum treatment conditions, and also examined the antioxidant effects and functional characteristics. The results showed that roasting can be used for other purposes than producing oil, and also suggested that methods other than roasting can be used in a variety of ways in cooking. Also, the different treatment methods can be applied in cooking in a variety of ways, to enhance functionality and preference.

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.

The study was an attempt to compare the Korean home-made sesame oil (sample A) with the market goods in Korean (sample B) and in Japan (sample C) for their flavor and cooking after an hour heating. And there were 5 spices used green onion , garlic, ginger, black pepper and red pepper in heating process of the sesame oil. The results obtained were as follows : 1) On the chemical changes of AV, IV, SV, TBAV, and the appearence of color and viscosity , it was supposed that the changes were showed merely more by the heating than the heating of the spices addition. Among the spices garlic was noticed to change greatly in comparison with the other spices. And A was showed to change a little respectively at color , SV, which B, C changed more. 2) Through the sensory examination there was not of significant effect in the strength and acceptability after an hours heating between sample A, B and C. 3) Basic aroma component of the fresh sesame oil and the heating in the carbonyl fraction were analyzed and indentified by G L C. N-hexanal, n -heptanal , n-octanal etc were increased by means of the heating , sample b remarkably more than A.

Sesame seeds were roasted for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min at different temperatures (100, 200, and $300^{\circ}C$) and extracted to investigate an adequate condition for producing the high quality sesame oil. Sesame seeds roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ for 90 min gave the high yield of oil. The oil contained the low content of brownish-black precipitates and exhibited an excellent organoleptic quality when judged by descriptive sensory analysis. Thirty one volatile flavor compounds, which are the largest number of volatiles among the oil samples prepared, were identified from the oil sample. The oil contained relatively high concentrations of furfurals (sweet candy-like flavor) and pyrazines (roasted-like flavor), that are considered as good contributors to sesame seed oil flavor, and low concentations of aldehydes $(C5{\sim}C10)$ and ketones, which are considerd as bad contributors (oxidized fat-like and painty-like flavors). These results suggest that the roasting condition of $200^{\circ}C$ for 90 min was the best for the oil production in terms of the overall aroma and taste quality under the test conditions (Received July 13, 1993; accepted November 4, 1993).
