Black sesame extract, also known in traditional medicine as sesame extract, is renowned for its high concentration of sesamin – a rare lignan compound found only in sesame, comprising 1% of its natural content. This bioactive compound exhibits potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties, making it widely used in anti-aging skincare, brain health supplements, and natural food colorings.
Driven by growing demand for dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceuticals, and driven by consumer preferences toward clean-label, non-GMO, and certified organic extracts, the global black sesame extract market is rapidly expanding. Key trends include the Asia-Pacific region dominating production and innovation.
We specialize in high-purity, full-spectrum black sesame extracts with customizable sesamin concentrations (10%-98%) to ensure optimal efficacy in your formulations. We utilize ultrasound-assisted ethanol extraction to maximize sesamin yield and minimize nutrient degradation. From certified organic sesame farms to cGMP-compliant processing, we ensure that heavy metal, pesticide, and microbial limits meet global standards. Available in powder and granule forms, customizable for capsules, beverages, or cosmetics.
