Determination and Comparative Analysis on Fatty Acid Composition in Red Camellia Seed Oil

[Objective] The aim was to provide references for exploitation of red camellia from Zhejiang.[Method] Selecting five kinds of red camellia seeds from Zhejiang,the seed oil contents were determined by seeds oil content determination method,and the fatty acid composition was determined by gas chromatography method.[Result] The results showed that the average content of kernel oil was 50.29%.Among which,the average content of monounsaturated fatty acids was 67.11%,and the average content of polyunsaturated fatty acids was 12.47%,and the average content of saturated fatty acids was 12.41%.The m(saturated fatty acids)∶m(monounsaturated fatty acids)∶m(polyunsaturated fatty acids) =1.00∶5.38∶1.00,so met the standards of modern nutrition and health fats.[Conclusion] The composition of red camellia seed oil fatty acid had more health advantages compared with other plant oil fatty acid composition content.
