Fatty acid and amino acid composition of Camellia oleifera seeds

By take four Camellia oleifera superior clones as the testing materials,Camellia oleifera seeds oil was extracted with Soxhlet extraction,fatty acid composition of the oil was analyzed with gas chromatography,and the amion composition was analyzed with automatic andyzer.The results show that the relative content difference of fatty acids between clones was quite obvious,the relative content of unsaturated fatty acids was as high as 89.15%;the relative content of palmitic acid ranged from 9.39%to 13.18%;hard fatty acid among 1.46%and 2.86%.Four Camellia seeds contained 17 kinds of free amino acids,of which the highest total amino acid content 'Huashuo' was 673.1 mg·100 g-1,followed by the 'Huaxin'to be 583.9 mg·100 g-1,the lowest for the'Huajin' 404.6 mg·100 g-1.The differences in arginine content among the four fine varities were notable,and the differences in other amino acids content were not abvious.
