|
To furnish basic data for the utilization of camellia(Camellia japonica L.) seeds as a raw material of industrial products, major chemical components of camellia seeds and defatted camellia seeds were investigated. The moisture, crude ash, crude fat and crude protein contents of camellia seeds were 4.06%, 1.83%, 65.75% and 8.44%, respectively. Defatted camellia seeds indicates that it contains 10.31% moisture, 5.28% crude ash and 17.49% crude protein while no crude fat was detected. The crude ginseng saponin, crude saikosaponin and red ginseng saponin contents of camellia seeds were 108.0㎎%, 0.4㎎% and 40.3㎎%, respectively. Total amino acid contents of camellia seeds and defatted camellia seeds were 7,851㎎% and 13,002㎎%, respectively, and the major amino acids were glutamic acid, arginine, aspartic acid and leucine. The ratio of essential/total amino acid of camellia seeds was 0.29.
