  1. CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS FOR OIL AND GHEE PACKAGING

  2. INTRODUCTION Edible oils, ghee and hydrogenated fats (vanaspati) are an integral part of the Indian diet. India is the leading importer of vegetable oils which usually come in expensive tin containers and galvanised iron drums, and then get sold in loose form by retail vendors. This provides scope for adulteration with cheaper oils - a practice that has been the cause of ill health in India and other parts of the world.

  3. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR OIL & GHEE PACKAGING Oils and fats are adversely affected by humidity, oxygen, temperature, light, tainting. Colour and vitamin degradation can occur due to exposure to UV light and oxygen. Ghee has very low moisture content so needs to be protected from chemical spoilage activated by oxygen, light, humid climates and high temperatures. Excellent quality ghee packaging and oil packaging help to: - Prevent leakage - Retard deterioration - Prevent adulteration - Improve shelf life and storage stability - Prevent the possibility of under-weighing

  4. TRENDS IN GHEE & OIL PACKAGING • Storage stability and shelf life of packaged oils/ghee are critical concerns. It is extremely important that, whatever packaging material is used, it should be food grade and non-toxic. • Some of the packaging options being used include: • RIGID CONTAINERS (METAL/GLASS/PLASTIC) • - These are generally used for large institutional packs. • - Glass provides excellent protection, being one of the most inert materials. • - PET bottles have excellent clarity, are odour-free and have good gas barrier properties. They are accepted internationally for ghee packaging and oil packaging. • - Plastics are widely replacing glass (heavy weight and fragile) and metal (costly) due to: • Low cost • Light weight • Strength • Barrier properties • Availability in different shapes and sizes

  5. TRENDS IN GHEE & OIL PACKAGING SEMI-RIGID PACKAGES These include plastics in flexible, semi-rigid forms such as lined folding cartons, foil-based carton, nylon-based bag-in-box with tap, etc. FLEXIBLE POUCHES - The high price of rigid/semi-rigid packs, and lack of assurance on quality and quantity in buying loose oil have led to the popularity of flexible pouches as retail packs – especially for smaller SKUs. - Flexible pouches are suitable for high-speed FFS machines - Offer optimum balance between cost and benefits - Entail lower handling and storage costs - Available in different forms such as pillow pouch, flat pouch, three side seal pouch, 4 side seal pouch, stand up pouch, gusset pouch and more.
