It is sparingly soluble in water, but miscible with most oils. It can be produced by organic synthesis from heliotropine. Sesamol has been found to be an antioxidant that may prevent the spoilage of oils,〔Joo Yeon Kim, Dong Seong Choi and Mun Yhung Jung "Antiphoto-oxidative Activity of Sesamol in Methylene Blue- and Chlorophyll-Sensitized Photo-oxidation of Oil" ''J. Agric. Food Chem.'', 51 (11), 3460 -3465, 2003.〕〔Ohsawa, Toshiko. "Sesamol and sesaminol as antioxidants." ''New Food Industry'' (1991), 33(6), 1-5.〕 It also may prevent the spoilage of oils by acting as an antifungal.〔Wynn, James P.; Kendrick, Andrew; Ratledge, Colin. "Sesamol as an inhibitor of growth and lipid metabolism in Mucor circinelloides via its action on malic enzyme." ''Lipids'' (1997), 32(6), 605-610.〕 Sesamol can be used as a chemical intermediate in the industrial synthesis of the pharmaceutical drug paroxetine (Paxil).〔Li JJ et al. (Contemporary Drug Synthesis ) John Wiley & Sons, Inc . Hoboken, New Jersey, 2004〕 Sesame oil is used in Ayurvedic Medicine. == See also == * Sesamin and sesamolin, two lignans found in sesame oil 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「sesamol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
