Sesame Oil Histamine Information

Sesame oil, derived from sesame seeds, is a frequently used cooking ingredient. Although there is not an abundance of specific research on sesame oil's impact on histamine levels, drawing from the nutritional profile and components of sesame seeds and allied products may provide some insights. The evidence available suggests that sesame oil itself does not inherently contain appreciable amounts of histamine. Therefore, its consumption does not directly raise histamine levels. Importantly, the oil has not been identified as a histamine liberator, nor does it appear to hamper the breakdown of histamine, making it a potentially suitable inclusion in a low-histamine diet (Wilson, 2014). Sesame oil does contain substantial amounts of polyunsaturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and antioxidants. These components have been associated with broad anti-inflammatory benefits, possibly indirectly influencing histamine activity. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food stated that sesame oil has potential anti-inflammatory benefits, which can indirectly beneficial for individuals with histamine intolerance (Bhardwaj et al., 2016). However, it should be stressed that responses can vary significantly between individuals. For those with sensitivities or intolerances, precautionary measures such as trial and error remain necessary. This product's impact on histamine levels has not been researched well enough to publish concrete information. More data is needed to draw definitive conclusions regarding its potential effects on histamine levels in the human body. Our team is working hard on gathering more information, and updated data will be available soon. References: - Wilson, B. (2014). Histamine and histamine intolerance.
