The Place of Sesame and Tahini in Turkish Gastronomy

Abstract

Sesame, which is a protein-rich product like all oilseeds, contains between 19-31% and an average of 25% protein. The carbohydrate content is about 14% and the fat content is about 50%. Fat and protein-rich sesame seeds are used in tahini production, while those which are low on fat and protein are used for making bagels, pies and biscuits. Sesame, which is one of the oldest oilseeds in the history of humanity, has been used as a food since ancient times, as well as for healing and as oil sources. In Turkey, sesame seeds are used mainly for the production of tahini, halvah and sesame oil. In addition, it is common to use sesame seeds as a garnish for bread, halva, pita bread and buns in pastry products. Moreover, as sesame oil is an oil resistant to deterioration due to sesamol and sesamolin it contains, it is preferred in potato chips production more than the others. It is an undeniable fact that oilseed crops are at least as important as cereals in our country. This research was conducted to give information about the uses of sesame and its place in Turkish culinary culture
