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.
