Edible oils, ghee and hydrogenated fats (vanaspati) are an integral part of\nthe Indian diet. India is the leading importer of vegetable oils which usually\ncome in expensive tin containers and galvanised iron drums, and then get sold\nin loose form by retail vendors.This provides scope for adulteration with\ncheaper oils \u2013 a practice that has been the cause of ill health in India and\nother parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oils and fats are adversely affected by humidity, oxygen, temperature,\nlight, tainting and are prone to various types of deteriorations. Colour and\nvitamin degradation can occur due to exposure to UV light and is further\naccelerated by oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghee too, being a product with very low moisture content needs to be\nprotected from chemical spoilage activated by oxygen, light, humid climates and\nhigh temperatures.Off-flavours occur due to oxidative rancidity and hydrolytic\nrancidity caused by oxygen and moisture respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The packaging of these products is therefore of utmost importance. Excellent\nquality ghee and oil packaging<\/a><\/strong>\nproducts help not only in preventing leakage and adulteration but also keep the\nproducts fresh and free from bacteria and germs for long length of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Improperly packed oil and ghee absorbs foreign odours, oxygen and water\nvapour. Proper packaging serves to retard deterioration, prevent social hazards\nof adulteration and the possibility of under-weighing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trends in ghee & oil packaging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage stability and shelf life of packaged oils\/ghee are critical concerns for manufacturers and marketers.It is extremely important that, whatever packaging material is used, it should be food grade and non-toxic. HDPE bottles, PP laminates, Polymer coated cellophane, nylon-6 polymer or food grade PVC and their laminates, glass bottles, PET bottles,PP bottles are being effectively tapped for packing of ghee and edible oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the packaging options being used include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rigid containers (metal\/glass\/plastic)<\/strong> Semi-rigid packages<\/strong> Flexible Pouches<\/strong> Oil and ghee packaging solutions from Nichrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With four decades of experience in the flexible packaging industry, and 7000+ installations across India and the world, Nichrome can proudly claim to be the Oil packaging machine manufacturer <\/strong>who delivers outstanding single-source convenience and infinite possibilities in integrated, automated packaging solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nichrome offers a wide range of both HFFS and VFFS cooking oil\npackaging machines<\/strong>, so customers can find the oil filling\nmachine<\/strong> that suits their individual needs and budget.

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<\/strong> and oil packaging<\/strong>. In fact,plastics are widely replacing glass (heavy weight and fragile) and metal (costly) due to their low cost, light weight, strength, barrier properties and availability in different shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These include plastics in flexible, semi-rigid forms such as lined folding cartons, foil-based carton, nylon-based bag-in-box with tap, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 \u2013 especially for smaller SKUs. Flexible pouches are suitable for high-speed FFS machines and offer optimum balance between cost and benefits.They entail lower handling and storage costs; they are available in different forms such as pillow pouch, flat pouch, three side seal pouch, 4 side seal pouch, standup pouch, gusset pouch and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
