Boiling Point611-639 K (338-366 °C) /primary triglycerides in sesame oil/
Water SolubilityInsoluble in water|Miscible with ether, chloroform, solvent hexane, carbon disulfide. Soluble in petroleum ether; slighty soluble in alcohol
Density0.9 g/cm3
Storage TempSesame oil is more stable than most other fixed oils and does not
readily become rancid; this has been attributed to the antioxidant
effect of some of its characteristic constituents. The PhEur 6.3
permits the addition of a suitable antioxidant to sesame oil.
Sesame oil may be sterilized by aseptic filtration or dry heat. It
has been reported that suitable conditions for the sterilization of
injections containing sesame oil are a temperature of 170℃ for 2
hours; it has been suggested that
