Economic value of tea seeds:

1.For oil extraction

The oil content of tea seed kernel is about 30-45%, the oil yield is about 28%, and the unsaturated acid in the oil reaches 90%, so it is widely used in oil production.

2. As feed

The nutritional value of the oil cake after oil extraction is high, but a harmful substance in the tea seed oil cake is hemolytic saponin, which is not absorbed by animals, and has a bitter and spicy taste, so it must be "detoxified" before being used as feed.
