Camellia is a small evergreen broad-leaved tree with smooth bark and grayish brown. Its nature likes cold and humid climate and is not resistant to high temperature. It is distributed in some alpine areas of a few provinces and counties in the south of China.

I. the main products of camellia

Camellia fruit: Camellia fruit, commonly known as camellia seed, camellia seed, spherical, peach-shaped, can extract important natural green organic health edible oil-camellia oil. Camellia blossoms in autumn and bears fruit. Every year "Cold Dew" or "Frosts Descent" mature.

two。 Used in the cosmetics industry: the study of camellia oil found that it is rich in oleic acid glycerol, has a certain stability to acidification, is not easy to oxidize and rancidity, and as a pure natural vegetable oil in the refining process, it can effectively restrain the acid value. And it can absorb ultraviolet rays to prevent skin from being burned by ultraviolet rays.

3. Used for the preparation of biofuels: Camellia oil contains triglycerides, and its fatty acid carbon chain is mainly C16 and C18, which is close to fossil diesel oil. Fatty acid methyl ester (i.e. the first generation biodiesel) can be formed by transesterification with methanol under the action of catalyst.
