Technical Specification
| Metric | Target Value | Why it matters to the buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Purity | 99.95 – 99.98 % | Prevents off-colors and guarantees a premium look on finished product. |
| Admixture | ≤ 0.05 % | Foreign matter (stems, stones). Low admixture protects downstream machinery. |
| Moisture | 3 – 5 % max | Prevents mold; keeps the seed from clumping or spoiling in storage. |
| Free fatty acids | ≤ 2 % | A freshness indicator. Low FFA means oil hasn't started to break down or turn bitter. |
| Oil content | 48 – 52 % | High oil yield is the gold standard for tahini and oil processors. |
