Caffeine in guarana (Paullinia cupana), mate (Ilex paraguariensis), or concentrated green tea (Camelia sinensis) elicits a wide range of excitatory symptoms, particularly if it is present in excess. These plant products are frequently present in slimming preparations, and consumers should be aware of their potential to cause palpitations, sweating, insomnia, restlessness, agitations, tremors, headache, polydipsia and polyuria (DeSmet, 2004 Elvin-Lewis, 2001).

G. Teesamen, Teestrauch E th6 The genus Camellia is not only known for the production of tea leaves (C. sinensis, so-called Chinese tea) but also especially in mainland China for the production of t. oil from C. oleifera. In Japan, C. japonica is also used for oil production (also named tsubaki oil). Another well-known representative of C. japonica is the ornamental Camelia or China rose. The history of t. is closely connected with the history of Chinese tea. Tea is said to have been used in China already since 2700 B.C. Reports about t. oil date back to the year 300 B.C. Today, the main producing areas of t. are in South-China, especially in the provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi and Guangdong. In China about 4 x 10 ha of t. trees are reported however, the yield is only 150000 mt oil per year.
