In this study, the oil contents, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of sesame seed and oils belong to different countries were determined. The oil contents of materials changed between 49.22% (India) and 56.16% (Nigeria-Kanu). The major saturated fatty acids in sesame seed oils were palmitic (6.06-9.03%), stearic (5.29-6.42%) acids with small 20:0 (0.19-0.71%) acids. The main unsaturated fatty acids of sesame oil samples were linoleic (38.11-47.11%) and oleic (36.83-44.49%) acids. There was a significant difference in the amounts of the major fatty acids in the oil samples (P<0.05). The oils extracted from the Sesamum seeds were composed of 18.51-49.63 mg /100g γ-tocopherol, 0.134 mg/100g α-tocotrienol (India) and 0.415 mg/100g γ-tocotrienol (India). Total contents of tocopherol of samples ranged from 18.508 mg/100 g (Nigeria (Benue)) to 49.630 (Turkey (Mersin)).
