| Abstract: | Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an oil crop that belongs to the family Pedaliaceae. It is cultivated all over the world. Sesame seeds possess nutritional value being a rich source of proteins, dietary fibers, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins. Sesame seeds and oil have several biological potentials: antioxidant, antimutagenic, estrogenic, and hypolipidemic. Many phytochemical constituents were observed in sesame seeds and/or oil as phenolic acids, flavonoids, lignans, phytosterols, and unsaturated fatty acids. The total world production of sesame is around seven million tons with a production of two million tons of sesame oil with nearly 70% of agri-industrial by-product in the form of the cake counterpart. Some studies focused on the cake by-product’s phytochemical composition and biological potential, reflecting the valorization of such agri-industrial by-products where the effective utilization of them could lead to sustainability in the industry of food supplements, nutraceuticals, and non-food applications. |
