Shea butter fatty acid profiles Shea butter is composed of five principal fatty acids: palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidic (see Table below). About 85 to 90% of the fatty acid composition is stearic and oleic acids. The relative proportion of these two fatty acids affects shea butter consistency. The stearic acid gives it a solid consistency, while the oleic acid influences how soft or hard the shea butter is, depending on ambient temperature. The proportions of stearic and oleic acids in the shea kernels and butter differ across the distribution range of the species. Ugandan shea butter has consistently high oleic acid content, and is liquid at warm ambient temperatures. It fractionizes into liquid and solid phases, and is the source of liquid shea oil. The fatty acid proportion of West African shea butter is much more variable than Ugandan shea butter, with an oleic content of 37 to 55%. Variability can be high even locally, and a tree that produces hard butter can grow with one that produces soft butter. Nuts are gathered from a wide area for local production, so shea butter consistency is determined by the average fatty acid profile of the population. Within West Africa, shea butter from the Mossi Plateau region of Burkina Faso has a higher average stearic acid content, and so is usually harder than shea butter from other West African regions.[6]

Sesame (Sesamum Indicum) Common names: benniseed, beni, benne Sesame, one of the oldest and most important oilseeds known to man, has been cultivated in numerous parts of the world for over 4,000 years. It is desired for its highly stable oil contents, rich and nutritious protein, carbohydrate and fat content and savory nutty flavor. Consequently, it is an important source of food and oil. While sesame is primarily used as a source of oil for cooking, it is also used in the preparation of a wide range of food products (such as halva, tahini, bread, bread sticks, cakes, cookies, crackers, candies, chocolate, ice cream among others). Sesame also has medicinal applications with sesame oil being sometimes used for the medicinal treatment of ulcers and burns.
