Abstract: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to analyze the phytosterols of main products of camellia seed oil in China. The results showed that there were nine sterols detected in camellia seed oil, which were detected in bound and free form, with a total content of 3072.87~5713.48 mg/kg. The bound sterols were dominant, accounting for 97.4~99.4% of the total content. The main sterols include lanosterol, β-amirin and β-sitosterol. After refining, the content of free sterols decreased by 94.1%, the binding state decreased by 25.1%, and the deacidification process affected both forms of sterols most. During storage, the content of bound and free sterols decreased by 12.0% and 40.9%, respectively, and the bound sterols showed stronger oxidation stability. Through principal component analysis and load analysis of each trait, it was found that bound lanosterol and free β-sitosterol were the main characteristic components of camellia seed oil and they were stable in camellia seed oil of various origins.
