  • Can tea seeds be used as raw materials for extraction oil?
  • Thus, increasing the use of tea seeds, especially as raw materials of extraction oil, can bring greater economic benefits. The traditional methods for the oil extraction were mechanical pressing extraction and organic solvent extraction.
  • Does microwave/ultrasonic assisted extraction improve the utilization of tea seed oil?
  • In order to improve the utilization of tea seed, microwave/ultrasonic assisted extraction (MUAE) was firstly applied for the extraction of tea seed oil (TSO). The factors with significant effects on oil yield were screened by Plackett-Burman design and then optimized by Box-Behnken design.
  • Which seeds are considered raw materials for extracting oil?
  • The seeds from Camellia oleifera Abel and Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze are considered as raw materials for extracting oil (Wang et al., 2017a,b). The kernels of tea seed, which constitute above 70% of the weight of the seeds, are high in oil content.
  • What is tea seed oil?
  • The kernels of tea seed, which constitute above 70% of the weight of the seeds, are high in oil content. The tea seed oil (TSO) are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic and linoleic acids, as well as bioactive components.
  • Can Muae extract TSO from tea seed?
  • Moreover, SEM results illustrated that the structure destruction of tea seed brought about by combining microwave and ultrasonic was the primary driving force for fast extraction. Therefore, MUAE was an efficient method for extracting TSO. Tea ( Camellia sinensis L.), belonging to the Camellia L. ( Theaceae ), is a small evergreen shrub or tree.
