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.read more

The chemistry and physiological functions of sesame
TL;DR: Sesame has been known empirically as a cooking oil which is highly resistant to oxidative deterioration in comparison with other edible oils as discussed by the authors, but until recently there were no scientific studies to elucidate these interesting aspects of sesame seed and oil, but the author and members of his group initiated studies on the chemical elucidation of antioxidative principles of raw and roasted sesame seeds and oils.

Pyrethrum synergists in sesame oil. Sesamolin, a potent synergist
TL;DR: By the systematic entomological examination of chromotographic fractions of sesame oil two pyrethrum synergists, sesamin and sesamolin, were found to account for practically all the synergistic activity of the oil.

Murray L. Kinman,S. M. Stark +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 24 varieties of sesame were grown at 23 observation nurseries at 23 locations in 16 states and data for yield, oil and protein content of the seed, and for iodine value of the oil were obtained from certain locations.

Effect of processing on the composition of sesame seed and meal
TL;DR: Except for a variation in the freeepsilon-amino lysine content of the protein, the Mexican screw-pressed meals were quite similar in their composition.
