To summarize the researches of camellia oil in nearly twenty years in resources distribution

extraction process

chemical constituents

pharmacological effects

and clinical medicine. Camellia oil is a kind of oil tree endemic to China

with large output

origin advantages and export advantages. The main components of camellia oil include oleic acid

linoleic acid

linolenic acid and saturated fatty acid. Mechanical pressing and soaking extraction technique are the main production process of camellia oil. Camellia oil can be used continuously after extraction

either by further ethanol extraction or as feed resources and organic fertilizer with the rest camellia seed cake. Camellia oil is currently used in the main form of edible oil

prevention of cardiovascular diseases and skin diseases. On the basis of a comprehensive summary

this paper would focus on the overview of its clinical medicinal effects

providing valuable reference for the further research and development of camellia oil. Literature studies indicated that

in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases

camellia oil can more effectively prevent 'hypertension

hyperlipidemia

hyperglycemia' than ordinary edible oil. More importantly

camellia oil has great advantages in the prevention and control of skin diseases such as newborn dermatitis

dermatitis after radiotherapy
