Comparative Assessment of the Fatty Acid Profiles of Crude Oils Extracted from Seeds of Selected Tea ( Camellia sinensis L.) Cultivars
2016
Food and Nutrition Sciences
Tea seeds resulting from the cultivation of tea in many parts of the world, often regarded as waste, have been found to contain oil of exceptional quality that can be harnessed for use as an oleochemical or chemical intermediate. A comparative study was carried out to examine the free fatty acid profiles of crude oils chemically extracted by Soxhlet extraction from tea seeds collected from different cultivars of Kenyan tea. All the tea seeds of the studied tea cultivars yielded oil, though to
