Sesame oil is produced by extracting oil from sesame seeds. Sesame oil has a light yellow color, a pleasant taste and is odorless and is used to flavor various foods. Sesame oil contains more unsaturated fatty acids (80%) than many other vegetable oils. The high ratio of unsaturated fatty acids and essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-9 found in sesame oil reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Sesame oil contains antioxidant compounds and vitamin E. These compounds play a role in eliminating free radicals in the body and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Also, the antioxidant compounds and vitamin E found in sesame oil help hair health and improve hair strength and shine. Research shows that the antioxidant compounds in sesame oil can protect the skin from damage from UV rays of sunlight. Sesame oil contains some mineral elements such as zinc and copper, which help with blood circulation and body metabolism. Copper is also effective in reducing arthritis pain, preventing joint swelling, and strengthening bones due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Sesame oil can help reduce stress and depression. In addition, sesame oil softens the digestive tract and can be used to treat liver disorders, insomnia, and migraines. With more than 80 years of experience, Oghab Halva Company is known today as the largest producer of sesame products and produces and markets cold-pressed sesame oil, refined sesame oil, frying oil containing sesame oil, and sesame and canola oil for various uses with the highest quality.
