1. Watch the color. Pure sesame oil is slightly darker in color, reddish or reddish with yellow. If cooked rapeseed oil is mixed, the color will be dark yellow or blue, and cottonseed oil will be dark red.
2. smell it. Pure sesame oil is mellow and rich in flavor, such as adulteration, peanut oil or soybean oil. , with pungent smell, peanut or bean smell or burning smell.
Shake. Gently shake the bottled sesame oil. If the bubbles are transparent, they will soon disappear, usually pure sesame oil. If the oil bubbles are opaque and yellow and slowly disappear, it is inferior sesame oil.
4. Water test. Drop a drop of fragrant oil into a bowl of clear water, and the pure sesame oil will present a thin and transparent flower, which will quickly spread and condense into several tiny oil beads. The flowers adulterated with sesame oil are small and thick, and it is not easy to spread.
