There is limited literature available regarding the characteristics ofRhus chinensisMill fruit and seed oils, which are potential underutilized oil resources with beneficial unsaturated fatty acids and phytochemicals. In this study, chemical compositions of three cultivars ofRhus chinensisMill fruits and seeds, as well as profiles of physicochemical properties, chemical compositions, and antioxidant capacities of the preparedRhus chinensisMill fruit and seed oils were investigated and compared. Results suggested that the contents of chemical components of theRhus chinensisMill fruit and seed and their corresponding oils varied to different extents with the certain cultivars.Rhus chinensisMill seeds exhibited relatively high protein contents (14.38 ± 1.24–14.88 ± 0.85%), whereas the oil contents of the fruits were relatively high (19.68 ± 0.68–20.27 ± 1.33%).Rhus chinensisMill oils were abundant in unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid (51.41 ± 1.18–53.76 ± 3.01% and 74.82 ± 3.14–75.58 ± 2.32% for the fruit and seed oils, respectively) and oleic acid (15.00 ±1.04–15.59 ± 2.06% and 12.68 ± 1.15–13.44 ± 1.08% for the fruit and seed oils, respectively).Rhus chinensisMill seed oils contained high contents of tocopherol/tocotrienol, phytosterol, and polyphenol, thus resulting in significantly higher antioxidant capacities than the fruit oils. The results observed in the present work illuminated that theRhus chinensisMill fruit/seed and oil can be regarded as high-quality sources and ingredients for dietary food and nutritious supplement industries.
