To provide information on the phytochemical properties of sesame seed with different producing origin, the experiment which quantify and compare main components as well as physical properties of seed coat of imported and domestic sesame seeds were conducted. There was significantly different in protein and sesamin contents depending on the producing origins. Domestic sesame seed sample usually showed higher contents of oil, protein, sesamin and sesamolin than those of introduced ones. Total oil content of the imported sesame seeds was 49.2% which is 5% lower than that of domestic. Protein content of domestic sesame seed was 26.1% which is 14% higher than those of imported seed samples. In addition, domestic sesame seed sample contained 0.74 milligram per gram of lignan compounds which is 45% higher than those of imported seed samples. Domestic sesame showed external surface of seed coat with much more waxy stripes deposits and round shaped coat cells rather than those of imported sesame seed samples. The intersection part of the sesame seeds showed no specific difference depending on the producing origin. The experiment suggested that difference of main components such as protein, sesamin and physical structure of the sesame seed coat were useful indicator to distinguish domestic sesame seeds from imported sesame seeds.
