Harinas Polo Sesame: An oilseed with a rich aroma, crunchy texture, and maximum industrial purity.
Features and Functionalities for Professionals:
Natural Sesame: This is the most versatile option. It has a mild flavor and an ivory color. In the oven, it develops a progressive toastiness along with the crust.
Toasted Sesame: Subjected to a controlled thermal process at our facilities that intensifies the nutty notes. For the industry, this ensures a potent and consistent flavor in every batch, making it ideal for applications that do not involve aggressive secondary cooking.
Black Sesame: The artisan baker's ally. It provides a sophisticated color contrast and a slightly firmer texture. It is rich in antioxidants (sesamin) and adds unique earthy notes.
Technical Functionality: Thanks to its high concentration of healthy lipids, sesame not only serves as a garnish but also adds a rich, creamy mouthfeel and an aroma that stimulates impulse buying.
Applications in the Sector:
Industrial Bakery: Coverage of premium hamburger buns, breadsticks, breadsticks and sliced breads multigrain.
Artisan Bakery: Decoration of sourdough loaves, bagels, and Mediterranean- or Asian-inspired specialties.
Bakery: Key ingredient in dry pastries, *polvorones*, and functional cereal bars.
Nutritional Analysis (100g serving).

When sesame seeds are placed on the outer surface of the dough, they are directly exposed to the dry heat of the oven. This triggers a natural roasting process for their inherent essential oils (rich in sesamolin and sesamin), unleashing a burst of delightful toasted aromas and enhancing Maillard reactions in the crust. In addition to providing an attractive golden color, the seeds add crunch to the outer bite and help retain some of the bread's internal moisture.
Since nearly half of its weight consists of lipids (unsaturated fatty acids), sesame is prone to auto-oxidation if exposed to poor environmental conditions. In the production area, one must strictly avoid leaving sacks open in hot zones (such as near ovens) or exposed to direct light. High temperatures and solar radiation accelerate fat hydrolysis, generating bitter odors and flavors (rancidity) that would ruin the bread's quality. It must be stored in a cool, dry place.
