What is Sesamol?
Sesamol is a phenolic compound that is found predominantly in sesame seeds. It is known for its strong antioxidant properties, which help in preventing the oxidation of oils, thereby extending the shelf life of sesame oil. Sesamol is also researched for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, though more studies are needed to fully understand its effects.
