China [CN] Sesamol, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol, is a natural fat-soluble lignan, which is an important aroma component of sesame oil and an important quality stabilizer of sesame oil. Sesamol is found in sesame seeds, sesame oil and sesame meal, and can be continuously decomposed by sesame linin during thermal processing, up to 64.4 mg/(100 g) in sesame oil. Sesamol has a very strong antioxidant capacity, often used as an antioxidant in food and medicine, and it is an important starting material for the synthesis of antihypertensive drugs and cardiovascular drugs, as well as a raw material for the pesticide piperinylbutyl ether. Sesamol is in great demand internationally, especially in the field of drug synthesis, and can be used as an intermediate of the drug paroxetine (Paxil).
