The current study planned to explore the opportunity associated with the tea seeds and tea fruit shell in terms of their utilization as seeds are of no economic importance in tea plantations. As per the reports, tea growers shifted towards vegetative reproduction, and since then there has been a generation of tea seeds and commercial tea plants grown in tea plantations for the leaves, which is unable to find any appropriate use. Tea seeds have previous reports of their oil analysis but there is no report on tea fruit shell utilization. The current studies indicated that fruit shells are more useful than tea seeds considering their bioactives and associated medicinal potential. The current study confirmed that tea fruit shell is highly rich in polyphenolic content and its antioxidant activity is similar to the standards like gallic acid and trolox used in the DPPH and ABTS assays. In addition, fruit shells also showed the presence of an exemplary quantity of catechins which is absent in the tea seeds. Fatty acid profiling of tea seed and its shell also have remarkable differences in the fat constituents as the fruit shell showed the presence of an adequate quantity of Myristic and lauric acid. Hence, the present study confirmed that despite being waste generated from tea plantations, tea fruit shell has vast opportunities to work on accessing their medicinal potential in the future.
