Main components analysis of Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu fruit

The main components of Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu fruit were determined by chemical analysis and the oil's fatty acid compositions were determined by capillary gas chromatography.The morphological structure of Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu cotyledon cells was also observed by microscope.The results showed that the Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu seed kernel contained 60.3% crude oil(dry basis),8.8% crude protein(dry basis),10.34% camellia saponin(dry basis);the Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu seed shell contained 2.5% crude protein(dry basis),73.4% crude fiber(dry basis),4.08% camellia saponin(dry basis);the Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu fruit pericarp contained 4.0% crude protein(dry basis),31.3% crude fiber(dry basis),20.05% camellia saponin(dry basis).The analysis of capillary gas chromatography showed that the Camellia chekiang-oleosa Hu seed oil belonged to oleic acid-type oil and its unsaturated fatty acids content was 84.83%.
