Sesame Oil Health Benefits and Manufacturing Process
People always think about oils as unhealthy, but it isn’t fair to paint them all with the same brush. Yes, low-quality oils are definitely bad for you, but a pure, high-quality oil can be just the opposite. Many nut, seed and vegetable oils have a lot to offer your body and your overall health. Sesame seed oil is one such hero.
Sesame oil is an incredibly healthy food that has been used for over 5,000 years. It is one of the most nutrient and strong medicinal that is still used worldwide.
Benefits of Sesame Oil
Sesame oil is excellent for your skin and hair, it’s high in protein and it’s great for digestion. It also helps with inflammation-related pain, stress and even PMS symptoms.
1. Circulation and Metabolism Help
Sesame oil contains a lot of copper and zinc, responsible for the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the lungs and ultimately to all the tissues of the body.
The writers at Organic Facts note that: “With the significant percent of copper in sesame oil, your body is sure to get the right amount of blood flowing to the organs and tissues, ensuring a healthier and more high-energy lifestyle!
2. Supports Diabetes Treatment
Sesame oil is high in magnesium and also contains other nutrients that help with diabetes control. Numerous studies have shown the benefit of sesame oil for people struggling with diabetes.
New Health Guide explains the findings of one such study:“Sesame oil has been shown to decrease both blood pressure and glucose in patients with both diabetes and high blood pressure. The magnesium and other nutrients in sesame seeds were shown by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition to improve the effectiveness of the oral diabetic treating drug glibenclamide in type 2 diabetic patients.”
3. Encourages deep and restful sleep
Sleep is extremely important to keep your body functioning at its best and to ward off illness. Chronic lack of sleep has been linked to heart disease, mental health issues, high blood pressure, kidney disease and diabetes.
Sesame oil contains high levels of magnesium and calcium, which are known to relieve stress both mentally and physically and help you to get deep, restful sleep.
Diana Herrington, the writer for Care2, identifies two additional nutrients in sesame oil that can improve sleep quality: “Sesame also contains the calming vitamins thiamin and tryptophan that help produce serotonin, which reduces pain, assists moods, and helps you sleep deeply.”
Getting better sleep, and more of it is definitely one way to improve your overall health.
4. Promotes Healthy Cellular Development
Sesame seed oil can also work to protect your cells from harmful mutations and encourage healthy growth. Mike Barrett, co-founder of Natural Society, writes that: “Not only do sesame seeds contain an anti-cancer compound called phytate, but the magnesium in sesame seeds also harness anti-cancer properties.”
Sesame seeds also contain sesamol which is known for its preventative qualities as well.
5. Encourages Better Bone Health
LIVESTRONG.COM - Lose Weight and Get Fit with Diet, Nutrition & Fitness Tools has a post about the Ayurvedic tradition of using sesame oil for bone health: “Sesame oil is the only oil that has the power to penetrate all seven layers of the skin, deep into the body’s organs and tissues, ultimately strengthening the bones.” This makes sesame a great choice for massage.
We know that sesame seeds are loaded with magnesium and calcium (more calcium than any other seed, in fact), which work together to elevate bone health, and they are also high in zinc which improves bone mineral density.
How Sesame Oil is made?
Sesame oil production can be a complex process but, using the right processing method and quality machine, it will become easier.
1.Sesame Seed Cleaning:

Once the seeds have been dried completely, they are ready for crushing or pressing by sesame oil expeller press. After the oil has been pressed from the seeds, the oil is then given some time to settle.
4. Crude Sesame Oil Filtration：
Once the oil has settled after pressing, there is the presence of some oil cakes that are mixed up with the oil. Filtration is done to separate the seeds from the oil. This will make the refining level easier to extract the final oil.
5. Sesame Oil Refining：
After filtration, it doesn't mean that the oil is ready for packing. There is the last and final filtration before the oil is packed. The filtration ensures that the oil is fully pure and that it does not have any oil cakes in it. Once the oil has settled and filtered, it is now ready for packing.
