In the present study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of white and black sesame seed oil against a range of fungal pathogens including that responsible for animal and plant infection. Sensitivity testing against some pathogenic fungi were studied with white and black sesame seed oils in the laboratory pouring aqueous extract of the sesame seeds into the culture media. Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton verrucosum, Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, and Aspergillus spp. were the microorganisms used and they were identified, confirmed and obtained from the Biology laboratory of the University of Zalingei, Sudan. The result showed that sesame oil has strong antifungal activity against opportunistic fungal pathogens such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton verrucosum, Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, and Aspergillus spp. The oil extracted from white sesame seed was found to give better than black sesame seed oil on the studied fungi. This article focuses on natural products used as antifungal properties, their effects on the minimum inhibitory concentration value, as well as their environmental value. The study suggested that both white and black sesame seeds are potential sources of functional food to prevent chronic diseases.
