How is sesamum indicum seed oil made?
The production of sesame oil begins with the collection of sesame seeds, which are then cleaned to remove impurities. Once cleaned, the seeds are pressed to extract the oil. This process can be conducted in various ways, including cold pressing, where low temperatures are used to preserve the oil, or hot pressing, where heat is applied to achieve a higher yield of oil. After pressing, the oil is filtered to remove any remaining residues and then packaged for distribution.
