In this study, some seed and oil properties of Golden (Gökova) Sesame, almost all of which are exported, were determined.The thousand grain weight of sesame seeds was 3.40 g, the crude protein rate was 20.24% and the crude oil rate was 50.05%. Seed color analysis average values L*, a*, b*, c* and h respectively; 55.78, 10.35, 29.88, 31.62 and 70.89. While the total antioxidant capacity was determined as 1405.53 mg trolox equivalents/100g, the total phenolic content was found to be 483.34 mg gallic acid equivalents/100g. As a result of the analyzes made in the oils of sesame samples; palmitic acid ratio 9.45%, oleic acid ratio 40.46%, linoleic acid ratio 42.57% and stearic acid ratio 4.96%. Sesamol, Sesamin and Sesamoline amounts of sesame lignans were found as 0.076 µg/g oil, 12.278 mg/g oil, and 0.906 mg/g oil, respectively. Average ?-tocopherol was found as 1.57 µg/g, ?tocotrienol was found as 1.22 µg/g, ?-tocopherol was found as 47.59 µg/g, and total tocopherol was found as 49.17 µg/g in sesame seed oils. Sesame oil color analysis values L*, a*, b*, c* and h respectively; 93.34, -1.57, 30.37, 30.41 and 92.99. The refractive index (20°C), iodine number, saponification number, free fatty acid and unsaponifiable matter values respectively; 1.47, 107.86, 186.4 mgKOH/g oil, 0.82% and 1.74 g/kg. It was determined that the quality criteria detected in the Golden (Gökova) Sesame samples were in accordance with the literature data and mostly gave better results. © 2021 The authors.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGolden-Gökova SesameQualitySesame LignansSesamolTocopherolArticle3083Q4300114437719
