Oil pulling (extended mouth swishing) is a long-established ancient herbal practice that includes swishing of oil for a prolonged period in the mouth for maintaining better oral environment and providing systemic healthy effects. There are number of edible oils which are used in this therapy but the scientific evidence is limited. Recent literature shows that coconut is one of the most popular pulling oil amongst all. Coconut oil is effective against many oral and systemic conditions and also in bacterial and fungal infections because of the presence of lauric acid which is a major fatty acid component. This article reviews the literature regarding the mechanism, composition, benefits and scientific clinical studies related to coconut oil pulling therapy on oral health.

“…15 The oils or oily decoctions clean the oral cavity, pharynx, and tonsillar area and are likely to coat the mucosa as biofilm and induce additional immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial benefits. 16 The paramount role of host mucosal immunity in controlling infectious agents is well known. 17 Turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome, yashtimadhu or liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) stem, neem (Azadiracta indica) and catechu (Acacia arabica) barks, and natural salt may be used to prepare medicated water/solutions for gargles/mouth rinse.…”

Abstract-From sesame, it is possible to obtain a creamy paste, which could represent a solution to the problem of wasteful production of this oilseed. In view of the above, the sensory quality of sweetened sesame paste formulated with added bovine blood plasma as a surfactant for possible use in confectionery was assessed in the present investigation. A completely randomized experimental design was used, under a multilevel 2x2x4 factorial structure at half fraction to rule out effects of similar treatments. It was evaluated the effect of factors (80 and 70% sesame paste, syrup (water + sugar + glucose) at 20 and 30% and bovine blood plasma at 0.75,1.0,1.25 and 1.5%) on the sensory responses of the 8 formulations. The sensory evaluation of the different treatments was carried out through preference and acceptance tests; the treatment with 70% of paste, 30% syrup and 1% plasma was the most widely accepted. The best treatment was T2 followed by T6. T8 showed significant differences in the parameters evaluated when compared to other treatments, and in turn had the lowest acceptance in the evaluated attributes. In general, treatments with a higher percentage of syrup had greater preference and acceptance for the same blood plasma content. In addition, 1% plasma is sufficient in the formulation of the paste, and higher concentrations make it perceptible, making the consumer reject the product.Keyword-Sesamumindicum L., Blood Plasma, Surfactant, Sensory Analysis. I. INTRODUCTION Sesame, known in Colombia as sesame (Sesamumindicum L.) is considered a food of importance in human nutrition [1]. At present, these seeds are mainly used for the production of oils [2-10], but they can also be used for the production of oily pastes [1,11] and other types of formulations [11][12][13].From sesame seed it is possible to obtain a rich paste using technological processes, including conditioning, husking, roasting and milling [12]. Sesame paste has a high nutritional value, as it is rich in lipids (between 54 % and 65 %), proteins (between 17 % and 27 %), carbohydrates (between 6.4 % and 21 %), dietary fibre (approximately 9%), niacin (approximately 4.5 mg 100 g ) [1,14,15]. It should be highlighted that Colombia is the third largest sesame seed producer in Latin America. It is cultivated in the departments of Magdalena, Bolívar, Sucre, Córdoba and Tolima, but there are currently no production policies in place to prevent post-harvest losses and increase their added value [16]. A product derived from sesame seeds, which is highly acceptable to the Colombian population, especially on the Caribbean coast, is sesame paste [1,15], which is a nationally indigenous product produced under the name of tahini in other parts of the world [11]. As it is a product derived directly from the milling of the seed, it is used as an ingredient for creamy desserts and sauces [1,12,14], so there are options to take advantage of the sesame production chain.On the other hand, there is currently an important demand for raw materials with a high nutritiona...
