Olive extract is one of the leading products of Jinrui. Because of its strong antioxidant function, it is favored by many local and abroad customers. Those who are familiar with the raw materials should know that there are also native olives in China, but it seems that we do not often use olive oil. Chinese people tend to use rapeseed oil, peanut oil and so on in cooking. Do you know the reason?
Actually, the olives grown chiefly in our country are not the same plant as the olives used to get oil. Chinese olive is also called green fruit, Latin name: Canarium album (Lour.) Raeusch., native to southern China, Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Fruit can be eaten or stained, medicinal treatment laryngitis, hemoptysis, enteritis diarrhea. The seed is often used to make stone carving in China, which is a kind of folk arts and crafts with Chinese characteristics. This kind of olive can be eaten as a fruit, but its little oil content is not suitable for getting oil, so we have no habit of eating olive oil.
Olea europaea L., native to the Mediterranean Sea, is an important source of getting oil in western countries. Spain is the main producer and consumer of olive oil, followed by Italy. With the development of globalization, the production of olive in China has gradually increased, and China, Olea europaea L. is mainly cultivated in Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan and other provinces and regions.
Olea europaea L. is rich in a variety of nutrients, and the herbal extract industry can mainly extract oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, as excellent natural antioxidants, used in a variety of health care products, food, skin care products and functional drinks. Next time someone asks you about olive, don't make it wrong.
