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.

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

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

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.
