Abstract

ABSTRACT: Camellia oleifera seed, one of the most important woody oilseeds, is being paid more and more attentions for the favorable functional characteristics of the oil. In order to obtain Camellia oleifera seed for oil production, a series of postharvest processing steps, including the shelling of Camellia oleifera fruits and drying of Camellia oleifera seeds are necessary. After postharvest processing, it is essential to maintain quality of the seeds through storage over a long time. This review focused on the recently published research on different techniques that could be applied in postharvest processing and storage of Camellia oleifera seeds. Based on the recent advances, the development trends were put forward for further research, which will provide references to improve the quality of stored Camellia oleifera seeds.
