Sesame oil contains a low saturated fatty acid, so that sesame oil provide many benefits both on health and the potential to maintain fitness.

Sesame oil contains oleic acid 35.50 to 37.5%, linoleic acid 35-50%, less than 1% linolenic acid and saturated fatty acids palmitic 11.07%. Basically, sesame oil contains high unsaponifiable matters in the form of sterols, but levels of non-oil materials is relatively low. The typical character of sesame oil is contain approximately 0.3 to 0.5% sesamoline and also contain sesamin about 0.5 to 0.1%. Sesamol in sesame oil produced from the hydrolysis of sesamoline and is an antioxidant.

Refractive index of sesame oil at a temperature of 25 Celcius degree is 1.4763. Iodine value of sesame oil is 103-112. Saponification value of sesame oil is 188-193. Reichert-meiss value of sesame oil is 1.2. Hehner value of sesame oil is 95.6 to 95.9. Freezing point of sesame oil is 21 – 24 Celcius degree. Melting point of sesame oil is 21 to 31.5 Celcius degree.
