Sesame Extract Sesamin Powder

Sesame extract is derived from sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) and is rich in bioactive compounds such as sesamin, sesamol, sesamolin, vitamin E, lignans, and unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid and oleic acid). These components give sesame extract a wide range of health benefits and applications.

Key Benefits of Sesame Extract
