Sesamol is a natural organic compound which is a component of sesame oil. It is a white crystalline solid that is a derivative of phenol. 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,[2][3] It also may prevent the spoilage of oils by acting as an antifungal.[4]
Sesamol can be used as a chemical intermediate in the industrial synthesis of the pharmaceutical drug paroxetine (Paxil).[5]:138-141
Sesame oil is used in Ayurvedic Medicine.[6]
