TLDR
Sesame meal is a valuable supplement for food and feeds because of the high methionine content of its protein relative to other oilseed proteins as discussed by the authors, and the production of sesame seed in the U.S. has been small but is expected to increase with success in the development of nonshattering varieties.
Abstract
Because of its good taste and outstanding stability, sesame oil has long been one of the most desirable edible vegetable oils. Sesame meal is a valuable supplement for food and feeds because of the high methionine content of its protein relative to other oilseed proteins. Production of sesame seed in the U.S. has been small but is expected to increase with success in the development of nonshattering varieties. Current information on the composition, properties, processing and use of sesame is discussed.

Polymeric Antioxidants. V. Ortho Methylene-bridged and Direct-linked Sesamol Oligomers

TL;DR: Both methylene-bridged and direct-linked oligomers inhibited the autoxidation of tetralin; but, in contrast to the lard results, almost all of the oligomers were less effective antioxidants for tetral in than the sesamol monomer.

Impact of the extraction method on physico-chemical proprieties, phytochemicals and biological activity of sesame seeds oil

TL;DR: In this paper, an inverse relationship between oil yield and seed moisture content was found for sesame seeds with either Soxhlet using hexane as the solvent or cold pressing, and the results showed that roasting process increased the antioxidant contents and activities.
