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.

Composition of Selected Dietary Fats, Oils, Margarines, and Butter

TL;DR: In this paper, a fat is distinguished from an oil by its solid state at a particular temperature, usually room temperature, and some oils are winterized to remove triglycerides that would cause the oil to solidify in the refrigerator; other oils are lightly hydrogenated to convert highly unsaturated fatty acids to more saturated acids to prevent the development of off-flavors and rancidity.
