Methods: The antioxidant activities were determined using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, and the total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were measured by ultraviolet (UV)-Vis spectrophotometry. The correlation between total phenolic and flavonoid contents and DPPH IC50, ABTS IC50 and FRAP EC50 values was analyzed by Pearson’s method. Results: The IC50 DPPH values of all sesame seed extracts were in the range of 8.88–44.21 μg/mL and IC50 ABTS values were in the range of 24.91–141.19 μg/mL. EC50 FRAP value ranged from 222.40 to 872.57 μg/mL. The highest TPC of 1.57 g gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g was observed in ethanolic extract of black sesame seed, while the highest TFC of 4.29 g quercetin equivalent (QE)/100 g was observed in ethyl acetate extract of white sesame seeds. The TPC in black sesame seed extract was significantly negative correlated with IC50 ABTS value (r = −0.828, p < 0.01) and EC50 FRAP value (r = −0.976, p < 0.01). Conclusions: All sesame seed extracts were categorized as very strong antioxidants by DPPH assay. Phenolic compounds in black sesame seeds were found to be the major contributors to antioxidant activities by using ABTS and FRAP methods. White and black sesame seeds have the potential to be developed as sources of natural antioxidants.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Author keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Indexed keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]ABTS,Antioxidant,Black sesame seed,DPPH,FRAP,White sesame seed[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Funding details" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="DOI" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtumed.2018.02.004[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
