CONFERENCE ON OTHER USES OF THE CAMELLIA: OIL AND TEA


Carmen Salinero Corral, Deputy Director of the Estación fitopatolóxica do Areeiro and expert on camellia culture, gave a lecture on the Confederación de Empresarios de Ourense headquarters on other camellia uses, such as tea making from shoots and leaves of Camellia sinensis and on oil extraction from the seeds of some camellia species for the development of cosmetics, medicine and cooking products.

The EFA is carrying out oil extraction activities from the seeds of several camellia species and cultivars to be subsequently used in the food and cosmetic industry. At present, the centre has planted Camellia sinensis specimens to check plant behaviour in our environmental conditions to obtain tea in the near future.
