Listing description
Tea seed oil (also known as Tea Oil Camellia or oil-seed
Camellia) is an edible, pale amber-green fixed oil with a sweet, herbal aroma. It is cold-pressed mainly from the seeds of Camellia
sinensis.
Detailed description
Tea seed oil should
not be mistaken for tea tree oil (melaleuca oil), an
inedible essential oil extracted from the
leaves of the paperbark, Melaleuca
alternifolia, and used for medicinal purposes. It should
also not be mistaken for Camellia oil pressed from seeds of Camellia japonica, also known as
Tsubaki oil.
Culinary uses
With its high smoke point (252°C, 485°F), tea
seed oil is the main cooking oil in some of the
southern provinces of China, such as Hunan—roughly one-seventh of the country's population.
Tea seed oil
resembles olive oil and grape seed oil in its excellent
storage qualities and low content
of saturated fat. Monounsaturated oleic acid may comprise up to
88 percent of the fatty acids. It is high in vitamin E and other antioxidants and contains no
natural trans fats.
Tea seed oil is used
in salad dressings, dips, marinades and sauces, for sautéing, stir frying and frying and in margarine production.
