Hypoglycemic activity in vitro of polysaccharides from Camellia oleifera Abel. seed cake

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018
We isolated and purified polysaccharide from the Camellia oleifera Abel. seed cake (CCP) and studied its hypoglycemic activity in vitro. The molecular weight of CCP was 4736 Da and the monosaccharide molar composition ratio was: Xylose:Glucuronic acid:Galactosamine:Mannose = 10.9:4.4:2.6:1.8. The CCP contained conjugated proteins and belonged to acidic

Use of Tea (Camellia oleifera Abel.) Seeds in Human Health

2011
Publisher Summary This chapter profiles the potential usage of tea seeds in human heath and nutrition. Tea seed oil has very high-value nutritional and health protection functions because of its many unsaturated fatty acids. This oil is comprised of 75-80% oleic acid and has a low content of saturated fats.

Chemical Constituents of the Seed Cake of Camellia oleifera and Their Antioxidant and Antimelanogenic Activities

Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2018
There is a growing interest in the exploitation of agricultural byproducts. This study explored the potential beneficial health effects from the main biowaste, tea seed pomace of Camellia oleifera Abel (Theaceae), produced when tea seed is processed. Eighteen compounds were isolated from the 70% EtOH extract of the seed cake of C. oleifera.

Neuroprotective Effects of the Nanoparticles of Zinc Sapogenin from Seeds of Camellia oleifera

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2017
The sapogenin isolated from seeds of Camellia oleifera shows central effects in our previous research. Aiming to improve its neuroprotective effects, we synthesize the zinc-sapogenin complex, which has been found with the nanoparticle characters and neuroprotective effects. Its structure is deduced as sapogenin:zinc:water (3:1:1) by ultraviolet spectra,
