Edible Oil Pouch Packaging Protecting Oil from Spoilage

India is one of the largest producers and consumers of edible oil in the world. In India, different varieties of edible oil are consumed, generally depending on the regional preferences and availability.

Filpack Servo SMD

According to a report by ICPE (Indian Centre for Plastic in the Environment), oil and fat are subject to spoilage due to effect of environmental factors that can affect their stability. Oxygen is the most critical factor affecting stability. The presence of oxygen leads to oxidation and formation of hydro peroxides and peroxides and then aldehydes and ketones resulting in off-odours due to oxidative rancidity. Oil containing high degree of unsaturated fatty acids such as safflower, soya and sunflower are highly prone to oxidative rancidity whereas oils with high degree of saturated fatty acids are less susceptible.

Another important factor which contributes to the deterioration of oil is moisture. Hydrolysis of triglycerides results in formation of glycerol and free fatty acids. Off-flavors occur due to hydrolytic rancidity.

In India, 52% of oil and fats continue to be traded in loose/unpacked form. Traditionally, oil and fats have been packed in 15kg square tinplate containers. However, today, other types of packages like plastic containers, lined cartons and flexible pouches are commonly used.

For edible oil packing, Nichrome is the preferred supplier of oil pouch packing machines.
