Linda,
I think it is flavor, but here may be more to this. I will research it more at a different time. There is also a recommendation that the sesame oil not be of the TOASTED variety. The flavor of this oil is very mellow and the smoke point is higher. Also is supposed to be excellent to use when making your own mayo as the coconut oil helps the emulsion.
I was looking at Wilderness Family products and saw "Mary's Oil" which which the description says is based on Mary Enig's recipe. I was curious so I did some quick research and found the recipe.
I don't saute' anything in coconut oil because it is sometimes hard for me to digest. Instead, I use ghee, olive, macadamia, sesame, hazelnut and similar oils for the most part. I use the coconut oil for Bulletproof Coffee and baked goods. Using it in a blend will increase my intake.

PS. This oil blend provides equal amounts of omega 3's, 6's and 9's.
