Abstract
Bisphenol A is one of the highest volume chemicals produced worldwide. It has
been used in the chemical industry for the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy
resins. The polycarbonate plastics are commonly used for packaging food and
manufacturing products, such as plastic bottles, compact disks, and automotive lenses.
Epoxy resins are used in the linings of food cans, protective coatings, finishes and dental
sealants. In some cases, these products contain minute amounts of unreacted monomeric
biaphenol A, which can leach from the material and come into contact with or be ingested
by humans. Human exposure to BPA is frequent and widespread. Ingestion of BPA from
food is the predominant route of exposure, accounting for 90–99% of exposure in adults
and children.
Sesame is a one-year plant which grows in subtropical and tropical regions. Sesame
seeds are very nutritious and they contain about 50 % of oils and 20 % of proteins. Sesame
seeds have long been considered a very popular health food in Asian and Africa countries.
Sesame oil is commonly used as a cooking oil. Lignans and lignan glycosides present in
sesame appear to be the important functional components. The main sesame lignans are
sesamin and sesamolin, which are found in sesame oil. These components are believed to
play an important role in the oxidative stability of sesame oil. They have multiple
physiological functions, such as decreasing blood lipids and arachidonic acid levels,
increasing antioxidative ability and γ-tocopherol bioavailability and providing antiinflammatory
function and estrogenic activity.
