Sesame Seed
- The oil content is the most important specification for sesame seeds, as it determines the quality and flavor of the seeds. The FFA content is also important, as high levels of FFA can indicate that the seeds are rancid.
- The specifications for sesame seeds may also include requirements for size, shape, and color. For example, some suppliers may specify that sesame seeds must be whole and free of cracks or blemishes.
- Sesame seeds are typically graded according to their quality. The highest grade is known as "Extra Bold" or "Extra Fine." These grades have the highest oil content, lowest FFA content, and largest size.
