“…Although this potential has yet to be demonstrated, targeted research are on the rise. Recently, a criterion that is in accordance with standards of China, the United States, and Germany has been developed for testing camellia biodiesel (Zheng et al, 2011). Allen (2015) reported that biodiesel produced from C. oleifera waste oil was comparable to soybean.…”

“…Some of the new Camellia oleifera cultivars can reach 53% oil per dry seed (Yang et al, 2016). Camellia oil has a relatively high smoke point when compared with commercial oils such as olive oil, at a range of 210-252°C (Allen, 2015;Miao et al, 2013;Zheng et al, 2011), which makes it suitable for deep frying, stir frying, and as a salad dressing. The nutritional value of camellia oil is well documented.…”

Camellia is one of the four main oil-bearing trees along with olive, palm, and coconut in the world. Known as “Eastern Olive Oil,” camellia oil shares similar chemical composition with olive oil, with high amounts of oleic acid and linoleic acid and low saturated fats. Camellia was first exploited for edible oil in China more than 1000 years ago. Today, its oil serves as the main cooking oil in China’s southern provinces. Introduction of camellia oil into the Western countries was delayed until the recognition of its many health benefits. Although popularity for the oil has yet to grow outside of China, interest has emerged in commercial production of camellia oil in other countries in recent years. Unlike seed-oil plants that are grown on arable land, oil camellias normally grow on mountain slopes. This allows the new crop to take full usage of the marginal lands. To facilitate promoting this valuable crop as an alternative oil source and selecting promising cultivars for targeted habitats, this paper reviews the resources of oil camellias developed in China, use of by-products from oil-refining process, as well as the progress of developing camellias for oil production in China and other nations.

“…Some modern C. oleifera varieties yield about 53% oil from air-dried seeds (Yang et al 2016). The smoke point of C. oleifera oil (210-252 °C) is higher when compared with olive oil (Zheng et al 2011;Miao et al 2013;Allen 2015). The unsaturated fatty acid content is up to 90% ( ⁓ 80% oleic acid, ⁓ 10% linoleic acid, and linolenic acid) (Mondal 2011) which complies with the international standards of 'omega meals', (Feas et al 2013).…”

The INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA) controls floral organ abscission in plants. IDA belongs to IDA-LIKE (IDL) gene family that is involved in regulation of Arabidopsis development. Herein, we identified three genes, CoIDA1, CoIDA2 and CoIDA3 in Camellia oleifera (Camellia oleifera Abel. cv. Huashuo) and suggested their involvement in the regulation of fruits abscission. The full-length cDNA sequences of CoIDA1, CoIDA2 and CoIDA3 were of 207 bp, 276 bp and 273 bp, encoding proteins of 68, 91 and 90 amino acids, respectively. These CoIDA genes were single exon genes (SEGs) with a conserved extended PIP motif (EPIP) at C-terminal that has been implicated to play an important role in governing protein function for enhanced flower abortion rate. The highest expression of CoIDA1 was in young peduncles and the lowest in young fruits. However, the highest expressions of CoIDA2 and CoIDA3 were both in young roots, and the lowest in young fruits. The expressions of CoIDA1 and CoIDA2 significantly increased in abscission zones (AZs) of both abnormal fruits (AF) and ethephon treated fruits (ETH-F) with respect to normal fruits (NF), which suggest that CoIDA1 and CoIDA2 genes are related to fruits abscission in C. oleifera. This study provided a preliminary understanding about CoIDA genes which could lead to their detailed functional analysis and utilization for improving C. oleifera yield potential.

Camellia genus (Theaceae) is comprised of world famous ornamental flowering plants. C. japonica L. and C. sasanqua Thunb are the most cultivated species due to their good adaptation. The commercial interest in this plant linked to its seed oil increased in the last few years due to its health attributes, which significantly depend on different aspects such as species and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is essential to develop fast and reliable methods to distinguish between different varieties and ensure the quality of Camellia seed oils. The present work explores the study of Camellia seed oils by species and location. Two standardized gas chromatography methods were applied and compared with that of data obtained from proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) for fatty acids profiling. The principal component analysis indicated that the proposed 1H-NMR methodology can be quickly and reliably applied to separate specific Camellia species, which could be extended to other species in future works.
