  • What is tea seed oil?
  • Tea seed oil is extracted from tea seeds. The annual production of tea seeds is almost 3?4 tons [ 81 ]. It is indigenous to East Asia, India, and Southeast Asia but is currently grown all over the world in tropical and subtropical regions. The kernel content of tea seeds is 47% [ 82 ].
  • Are tea seeds a good source of biodiesel?
  • Tea seeds contain 29?34% of oil and the presence of saponins is around 11?15% [ 83 ]. Tea seed oil contains antioxidants and polyphenols, as well as vitamin E at around 200 mg/L. Thus, tea seeds can be a potent source of biodiesel and used for the extraction of saponins, and vitamin E can also be applied in fuel production [ 84 ]. 2.13.
  • What is tea seed oil (TSO)?
  • Tea seed (TS), as the mature fruit and growth source of tea plant, has been characterized with appealing bioactive substances, remarkable health benefits and diverse application prospects. As one of the most significant products of TS, tea seed oil (TSO) has gained recognition as the “oriental olive oil”.
  • Is tea seed oil a waste?
  • The kernel yield from seeds is approximately 22 to 38% and the oil content is found to be 54.2% [ 78, 79 ]. Most seeds are considered waste after fruit processing due to the presence of hydrocyanic acid [ 80 ]. 2.12. Camelia sinensis Camelia sinensis is an evergreen shrub and belongs to the family Theaceae. Tea seed oil is extracted from tea seeds.
