“…Collectively, these species are economically important because a variety of products are made from them. For example, Camellia seeds are a good plant source of fat, and camellia seed oil is commonly used as a cooking oil and as a traditional medicine to treat stomach aches and burns in Chinese society 1 . The oil is antimicrobial and antiviral, has skin healing properties, protects the liver against CCl 4 -induced oxidative damage, reduces cholesterol content in the body, and provides resistance to oxidative stress 1,2 .…”

The oil is antimicrobial and antiviral, has skin healing properties, protects the liver against CCl 4 -induced oxidative damage, reduces cholesterol content in the body, and provides resistance to oxidative stress 1,2 . More specifically, camellia seed oil enhances the hepatic antioxidant defense system and endogenous or exogenous defense mechanisms in order to achieve the prevention of liver damage, including via the downregulation of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as the upregulation of antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione S-transferase 3 .…”

“…The global supply available from conventional animal fat and vegetable oils is not sufficient to meet all the energy requirements without compromising the demand for food. Much attention however, is put on plant seed sources that have been proven to have healthy and nutritional benefits to consumers in one way or another (Su et al, 2014). In recent years there has been an increased important exploitation of promising plant species as a source of dietary or specialty oils (Jelassi et al, 2014).…”
