Photovoltaic panel camellia oil

What are the functional components of Camellia oleifera oil?

Functional components can be developed to be ancillary drugs and functional foods. Camellia oleifera oil is a pure and natural high-grade oil prevalent in South China. Camellia oleifera oil is known for its richness in unsaturated fatty acids and high nutritional value.

What are the bioactive components of camellia oil?

There are many bioactive components in camellia oil such as oleic acid, γ-linolenic acid, squalene, phenols, triterpenoids and flavonoids that have been proved to possess anti-inflammatory activity and would reduce inflammation in tissues and joints.

How do different extraction methods affect the quality of Camellia oleifera oil?

Different extraction methods could affect the compositional elements, nutritional value, and quality characteristics of COO. The conventional methods for obtaining oil from Camellia oleifera seeds (COS) primarily involve mechanical pressing extraction (MPE) and solvent extraction.

How is Camellia oleifera oil extracted?

Commercially processed Camellia oleifera oil undergoes a series of steps, including seed cleaning, drying, pressing or solvent extraction, and solvent removal. However, the traditional extraction methods process may retain harmful substances such as organic solvents, benzopyrene, aflatoxins, and heavy metals.

What is the research progress on camellia oil?

This review comprehensively summarized the recent research progress on camellia oil, including the innovative extraction methods, novel analysis advances of bioactive components, and the recent pharmacological activities.

Which enzymatic method produces the best camellia oil?

The aqueous enzymatic method yielded camellia oil with the lowest acid value, indicating better oil quality. However, this method resulted in oil with the lowest antioxidant activity (Li et al., 2015). Furthermore, the enzyme extraction method yielded camellia oil with lower phenolic compounds than other methods.
