Tea seed oil is a kind of high-quality and healthy edible oil. If you eat tea seed oil for a long time, you can improve the activity of superoxide dismutase in human body. Rich in linoleic acid and VE, long-term consumption can reduce the level of oxygen free radicals in human body, improve the function of human organs, delay aging and enhance memory. It can also achieve health care effects such as clearing the intestines and moistening the stomach, promoting metabolism, diminishing inflammation and detoxifying.

2. Application of tea seed oil in skin care products The main component of tea seed oil is glyceryl oleate, which contains a variety of fat-soluble vitamins, has good affinity with the skin and is easily absorbed by the human body. At present, it has been widely used in advanced beauty and skin care products in the world, and the research on beauty and skin care products is gradually deepening.

3. The application of tea seed oil in medicine.

Studies have shown that tea seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and can effectively prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. Huang Suifeng [Use] Sixty patients with incontinence dermatitis admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital on June 20120/KLOC-0 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 30 cases in each group.

Through comparison, it is concluded that cooked tea seed oil can effectively reduce the incidence of skin damage in elderly patients with incontinence-related dermatitis, alleviate the pain of patients and reduce complications, and it is low in economic cost and easy to popularize.

4. Application of tea seed oil in industry.

In industry, tea seed oil can be used as high-quality raw material to produce oleic acid, and the process is simple and the product purity is high. The prepared oleic acid can be hydrogenated to make hardened oil, which is used to produce soap and vaseline, and can also be hydrogenated to make stearate, which is used as special oil for baking paint.

Extended data

Functional components:

1, tea seed oil

Tea seed oil is taken from the seeds of tea trees. Tea seed oil is bright orange in color, pure in taste and fragrant in smell. More than 90% of unsaturated fatty acids, 80%-83% of oleic acid, 7%-13% of linoleic acid and 8%- 10% of palmitic acid, in which linolenic acid is essential for human body but cannot be synthesized.

Tea seed oil is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins A, B, D, E and various trace elements. The oleic acid and linoleic acid content of tea seed oil is higher than that of olive oil, and its physical and chemical characteristics are very similar to those of olive oil, so it is called "Oriental olive oil". Tea seed oil also contains specific physiologically active substances such as tea saponin and tea polyphenols, which are not found in olive oil.

2. Tea saponin

Tea saponin exists in the seeds, roots, stems, leaves and flowers of Theaceae. It is the main substance that causes the rough green taste and bitter taste of tea, and the highest content in tea seeds, about 12%- 18%. Tea saponin is a kind of saponin and belongs to glycoside compounds. It is composed of sapogenin, sugar body, uronic acid and organic acid, and belongs to pentacyclic triterpenoids with complex structure.

3. Tea seed polysaccharide

Tea seed shell contains 2%~3% alkali-soluble sugar, which is similar to tea polysaccharide in structure and function. Yes, it is a polymer compound similar to Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide and ginseng polysaccharide.

4. Furfural

Furfural, also known as furfural, is a colorless and transparent liquid with a special smell and is an important agricultural and forestry chemical product. The furfural content in tea seed shell is 19%, which is the highest known plant and 2-4 times that of other raw materials. Furfural was extracted from tea seed shell, and the theoretical yield was 47%.

5. Pentosan

Pentosan, also known as pentosan. Tea shell contains about 28%, which is the condensation product of several pentoses, and the final product of its hydrolysis is pentoses.
