 Sesame Profile
In massage oil formulations, sesame is an important niche-market ingredient, particularly in Ayurvedic Indian massage routines, particularly Abhyanga (ah-bee-yanga).  This is a four-thousand-year-old health system from India, in which strict adherents incorporate a daily massage of the self or from another individual.  The process is said to stimulate and align body energy.
Sesame seed is easily threshed and relatively delicate, so drum speed should be reduced to about half of that required for cereals, and the concave clearance made as wide as possible.  Seed damage during harvesting affects both the viability of the seed, and storage and oil quality.
Sesame seed for planting the next-year’s crop may be stored at room temperature for approximately five years without loss of viability.  Freezing temperatures damage seed and make it less viable and marketable.
