Abstract
Four different tea seeds oil were extracted from four kinds of tea seeds by Soxhlet extraction method. Physicochemical properties of tea seed oil were determined. By gas chromatography of 4 kinds of tea seed oil were the fatty acid composition analysis,each tea seed oil mainly by for palmitic, stearic,oleic and linoleic acid,which oleic 60.89%～64.35%,linoleic acid 14.41%～20.55%,oleic and linoleic acid,the sum of 75.30%～84.90%. Tea seed oil has high nutritional value,as a new oil source has certain development prospects.
