Magical sesame

Sesame, known as the “King of Oilseeds”, is a crop from which the extracted oil is called sesame oil, or sometimes known as benne oil or gingelly oil. Featuring rich and fragrant aroma, it is suitable for both raw and cooked applications. Sesame stands out as one of China’s four major edible oil crops and is a primary oil crop in the country. The oil extracted from sesame seeds emits a delightful scent and can be used either for cooking or for medicinal purposes, such as serving as a high-quality massage oil, a base for ointments, a lubricant, and a detoxifier. Fragrance from sesame flowers and stems can be used in the production of perfumes, and the stems can be used as fuel. Oil from hot-pressed sesame can be used for producing carbon paper, and the smoke generated from burning sesame oil can be used to produce high-quality ink.

For industrial purposes, sesame can also be used to produce lubricating oil and soap. Sesame meal has a relatively high protein content and thus is an excellent feed ingredient. Containing about 5.9% ammonia nitrogen, around 3.3% phosphoric acid, and 1.5% potassium oxide, it is a valuable fertilizer as well. In recent years, China’s sesame production has significantly declined, dropping from the peaking 1.095 million tons in 2012 to 780,000 tons in 2017. Against this trend, the consumption of sesame and its products is on the rise along with the improving living standards and the growing awareness of health. As a result of the widening gap between supply and demand, sesame imports have been increasing annually at a rate exceeding 10%. In 2018, imports had reached 689,000 tons, and by 2022, they surged to 1 million tons.
