Sesame oil

Sesame oil is an edible vegetable oil used for frying food or as an ingredient in salad dressings. Sesame seed oil is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics as well as massage oil. Sesame oil is unique in that it has one of the highest concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids. At the same time, sesame oil contains the natural antioxidants sesamol and sesamin which help preserve the oil for long periods of time. Sesame oil is the only oil which has a high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids and also keeps at room temperature.
