Introduction to Youxi Tea Seed Oil

Camellia oil (also known as wild camellia oil, tea seed oil, oil tea seed oil) is derived from the seeds of Camellia oleifera trees. The production process of camellia oil can be divided into: shell removal, sun drying, crushing, oil extraction, filtration, all of which are physical methods. Therefore, it is a truly natural green edible oil

Production method of Youxi tea seed oil

(1) Oil tea seed storage: Oil tea seeds are mainly collected by farmers themselves and purchased from oil tea tree bases. Oil tea seeds need to be inspected, measured, dried, and cooled before storage, usually in a temperature environment of 0 ℃~30 ℃. The biochemical principle of plant seed ripening is utilized to promote the ripening of oil tea seeds. The proposed drying scale for Camellia oleifera seeds is 600t/d

(2) Pre treatment: Oil tea seeds that have been dried and stored in the warehouse are subjected to seed selection, cleaning and grading, peeling and separation for stone removal, and magnetic separation for iron removal. After pretreatment, the oil tea seeds are peeled, and the solid waste generated from peeling is mainly oil tea shells. After molting, separate the kernel and shell

(3) Cold pressing: Using a dedicated cold pressing machine, the pressing temperature is around 70 ℃~80 ℃ to avoid the darkening of tea seed oil color and loss of active ingredients caused by high temperature

(4) Oil residue separation: Crude oil generally contains 8% to 10% residue. Before entering the refining workshop, oil residue separation should be carried out quickly. The timely separation of oil residue will directly affect the acid value and color of crude oil. The longer the retention time, the higher the acid value and the darker the color

1. Smell: Drop one or two drops of oil on your palm, rub them together, and smell their scent when your hands heat up. High quality pressed camellia oil can be smelled with a unique tea oil flavor, but if you smell a strange odor or the smell of other types of oil, it indicates that there is a problem with the quality of the oil. Due to the color of soybean oil being similar to that of tea oil and its low cost, adulterated tea oil usually has a strong soybean oil flavor

2. Tasting: If the taste is smooth and there is a clear tea oil fragrance in the back of the throat, it is basically safe to eat! If you feel sour, burnt, or have a noticeable odor and feel nauseous after eating raw, it is definitely a adulterated product. In addition, adulterated tea oil has a high degree of oiliness and a very viscous taste, with obvious adhesion on the upper and lower lips. True tea oil has a smooth and refreshing taste

3. Touch: Fake tea oil is very greasy, and when applied to the skin, it floats on the surface and is not absorbed. Even after washing with a cleaning solution, it is still greasy. Real tea oil is moist but not greasy, and it will be quickly absorbed by the skin without any burden or heaviness

4. Listen: Take one or two drops of oil, apply them to flammable paper, and ignite them. The combustion is normal (with only a slight boiling sound of the oil) and there is no abnormal sound. It is a qualified product. If the combustion is abnormal and makes a "squeaking" sound, or if there is an "explosion" sound during combustion, it indicates that the moisture content is severely exceeded
