Abstract:In this thesis, the main chemical components and fatty acids of Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu fruit were analyzed and compared with those of traditional Camellia. And the cell morphological structures of the seed of two samples were observed. The results showed that air-dried Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu seed contained 63.3% of crude oil, 8.8% of crude protein, and 13.34% of tea saponin. The crude oil was 15% higher than that of ordinary Camellia seed. The main chemical components of the air-dried Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu seed shell were crude fiber with its content being of 78.4%. Gas chromatography analysis showed that Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu seed oil was in rich of unsaturated fatty acids (84.83%).
