Sesame has one of the highest oil contents of all seeds and is an ancient oilseed crop having been recorded over 3000 years ago.
Providing a nutty flavour, it is a common ingredient in Asian and middle-eastern food. Sesame seeds can be purchased with the seed coat removed (decorticated) and are used to top savoury and sweet baked goods.
Sesame (seeds and oil) can be a serious allergen to some, with a wide variation of the numbers affected from country to country. In the United Kingdom, reactions were found to affect around 0.04% of adults. however, variations from 0.5% in Switzerland to 8.5% in Australia have also been recorded. Sesame allergy is often high in people who already show symptoms of allergy to other foods items.
As little as 100 mg of sesame seed or flour and 3ml of oil has been recorded as triggering an allergic reaction. The onset of symptoms can occur up to 90 minutes after ingestion.
Many processed foods contain sesame derivatives in their ingredients and allergy sufferers should also be careful with absorbent risks in medical applications and cosmetics.
A cross-reactivityoften exists between sesame, peanut, rye, kiwifruit, poppy seed, and various tree nut allergens.
