What it is

Sesame protein is derived from sesame seeds, which are the tiny seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant. The protein is typically extracted from defatted sesame meal, a byproduct of sesame oil production, and then processed into a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sesame protein to food products to boost their protein content. It is often found in plant-based milk alternatives, protein bars, and baked goods, where it can also contribute to texture and binding.

Health notes

Sesame protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated sesame protein and its derivatives. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, sesame is one of the major food allergens.

Allergen info

Sesame is one of the 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Products containing sesame protein must be labeled accordingly.
